Good evening,
in search of a timber house builder, I have now been able to narrow it down to 2 favorites. Since they differ little in terms of appearance (facade, structure, etc...), I am now examining which facade construction is better. Because this is where the two companies definitely differ.
Company 1 (from outside to inside):
Company 2 (from outside to inside)
Basically, the two constructions differ in that Company 1 uses foils (diffusion-open – brand name omitted) as wind and vapor barriers. Company 2 uses a 16 mm wood fiber insulation board and a 15 mm OSB board in the same place. According to the company, this is also diffusion-open. Since I am a layman, it is difficult for me to assess the comparison of both constructions.
Is one of the two construction types to be advised against? Are there relevant advantages or disadvantages?
According to forum rules, I do not name the builders and have omitted the brand names of the components. If necessary, I can upload photos of the constructions.
Thank you very much
