Hello everyone....
a little about me...
I am a nurse and had absolutely no experience with building.
Currently, I am building a single-family house for us out of Wieneberger Poroton T9.
I do not have a contractor by my side and my architect knows about planning but less about implementation,
So far everything has gone great, but since I am not a professional, quite a few questions have arisen which I have luckily been able to overcome until now. Now I am hearing various statements...
Anyone who knows the T9- 36.5 cm brick knows that when cutting, corners often break off because it is quite unstable inside. Now I have some areas in the masonry that have gaps of about 3-4 cm.
How do I close these gaps? My architect says to fill them with thin-bed mortar because they contain "Styrofoam" and are also insulating (which I can't really imagine)
I wanted to fill the gaps inside with foam and fill them with mortar from outside and inside. If that is correct, should I foam the insulating foam as far out as possible or inside? And which foam do I best use?
Or are there better alternatives?
The roof is already on, windows are coming next week. Now I want to close the house completely...
Thank you very much for the upcoming help
