I want to try cladding a house wall with solid wood sheet piling in 2 layers.
It consists of 12cm simple pumice stone. In winter, the wall is ice cold...
1. Two times 60mm sheet piling. First layer applied vertically directly onto the masonry. (Each piece of wood is drilled and dowelled to the masonry).
2. Then the second layer of 60mm sheet piling screwed horizontally onto the first layer.
3. Battens 30mm thick applied vertically. This will certainly be sufficient as ventilation.
4. Screw facade cladding onto the battens.
Basically, I am optimistic that this should actually work well.
It would be much easier, however, to first apply battens and then start the wall construction as described above.
With a direct connection of the wood to the masonry, the wood would have to dissipate the moisture to the outside.
If there is battens between the wood insulation layer and the masonry, I fear that water will condense on the wall and, if not ventilated behind, mold could form there.
Ventilating directly at the wall at that point doesn’t seem right. Or am I mistaken? What do the experts think?
I would be very happy to receive some well-founded statements and thank you in advance.
