Hello everyone,
can anyone share experiences with the Liapor (expanded clay) wall?
We are considering building with a turnkey provider who completes the Liapor wall in the factory.
What are your experiences? Advantages / disadvantages compared to other wall systems?
How is it in summer? In winter?

Regards
Alex

We have 42.5 cm Liapor walls monolithically as prefabricated elements. Adequate sound insulation goes without saying with this wall thickness, unless you live in Offenbach. The interior walls have a higher concrete content because sound insulation plays a bigger role here than thermal insulation. The thermal insulation of the entire structure is, as far as I can judge so far, very decent. The summer heat protection is at least equally good, not least because of the high internal masses (we have a 20 cm thick concrete wall in the living room and filigree ceilings). The advantage compared to a masonry structure lies in the (slightly) shorter construction time, the very smooth walls, and the fact that you don’t have large cavities in the walls and therefore no problems with drilling, nailing, etc. However, this is also not a big deal in aerated concrete or Poroton if you pay attention to a few things. We decided on this because we simply liked the building material, and that hasn’t changed so far. Disadvantage: you have to know exactly where which switch and which outlet should be located during the planning phase. We would place one or two outlets differently now. Also, you have no flexibility during the shell construction if you suddenly think: “I would actually like the window to be floor-to-ceiling!” Moreover, the building material strongly limits the choice of shell builders. My overall verdict is nevertheless: recommendable

I have had in mind the whole time to build my house using timber frame construction with the usual wall structures. Now I have come across Liapor and find the idea of handling everything with a monolithic wall super interesting. I also really like the concrete look.

I am planning a single-family bungalow-style house with 270m² of living space. And I have already found several providers who, in principle, manufacture Liapor (or expanded clay in general) prefabricated walls.

May I find out who you two built with and what the experiences are?

Is there also a rough estimate of the costs for a shell construction with Liapor (and co.)? For example, on Grundhaus.com it is alarmingly cheap.

Many thanks!

Our wall elements are from FRANZ CARL NÜDLING Basaltwerke GmbH + Co. KG in Fulda. I built in the Rhein-Main area to give you an idea of their operating range. If that fits geographically for you, then why not inquire there about who installs their material near you.

One form of Liapor is Liaplan stones. Same material, the walls are not fully constructed in the factory, but rather laid stone by stone. We had them built this way, but only because our general contractor specializes in it. Living in the house is very comfortable, without having to think about the walls every day.

I am very interested in the monolithic walls, where I don't need any additional [WDVS], no exterior/interior plaster, etc. Just the wall and that's it. I find the idea very simple and interesting.
