No, we like that. It looks natural. Unlike the pre-grayed facade slats. I don't like that at all. I am already curious how the facade will change over the years. I find such a process exciting and simply lively.
aren't you exaggerating a bit there? That would be almost €30k more labor costs compared to plastering. Usually the additional costs for clinker are between €10-20k. Something must be wrong, or only apprentices and interns were working.
Lumpi
I am not exaggerating. Really 7 weeks. It was grouted directly in its own beige-white mortar.
I have 4 masonry gables and a chimney that was clad on the outside.
7 weeks was also too long, the boss expected 5 weeks.
I can't say anything about the costs, I didn't ask what plastering would have cost.
I have now paid €160 net per m2 including the bricks (€800 for 1000 pieces) and the beige-white joint.
The wooden facade is really very stylish! I think I would have only chosen the roof overhang not in white but rather matching the windows.
But I'm a wood fan anyway, we also built wooden facade elements made of rhombus slats at a good friend’s house where I partly helped build the house. It doesn’t fit on our old building, old brick facade at the front and at the back insulation with white plaster was added before my time (the facade was probably no longer nice) and there is no space for wooden elements.
I also find the wooden house very pretty! We originally also considered building a wooden house/Swedish house, but here in the region there is only one provider for that and he is very expensive, and one that is several hundred km away, we preferred not. Now our house will be Mediterranean (that was the other style that both of us like).
