Klinker veneer cost per sqm - surcharge justified?

this is our draft. but it's all a matter of taste.

We were somewhat surprised at a company’s surcharge for the planned clinker slips. The surcharge compared to normal ETICS alone is €51,000.

From this I read that the building is supposed to use ETICS (?) – then I’m not surprised at the steep price, since in that case clinker is usually not used as slips. Slips are designed as "retrofitted clinker" for monolithic walls.

For your atypical wish in this sense, from my point of view the second gastronomic principle absolutely applies (perverse costs extra). So follow the first gastronomic principle (outside there are only little pots) and plan a wall structure with a full-value facing shell, then the price will also work out.

That is near us. I don’t think it’s bad.

Maybe not bad – but that’s not Bauhaus, that’s Hornbach style.

A fully brick-faced house in Bauhaus style wouldn't really appeal to me. But if you highlight individual walls with it, it can look quite nice.

Hi 11ant, so we were offered 3 options by the BU. 1 - ETICS plastered, 2 - full clinker, 3 - clinker slips on insulation. ETICS plastered is out, as it is no longer desired visually. In the first appointment, clinker slips were recommended to us directly, as they are cheaper than full clinker. I can hardly argue that it is the other way around. Honestly, I also don't believe that full clinker is cheaper than slips. But that's exactly why I would appreciate some common prices, otherwise it's all just speculation. Personally, I don't care about the build-up, I just want to have the look in the end, at a fair price. From what you read, slips are used relatively frequently (also in new construction) to save money and wall thickness compared to full clinker.

But if you highlight individual walls with it, it can look quite nice.

Only that then it is no longer Bauhaus style – at least not in the philosophy of the school of design, but only in the sense of the shop of the same name where you buy the Allibert.

So we were offered 3 options by the BU. 1 – WDVS plastered, 2 – full clinker brick, 3 – clinker brick slips on insulation. WDVS plastered is out, as it is no longer desired visually.

The seemingly three offers are also not meant as real alternatives, but rather one to accept and two to reject. WDVS plastered primarily stands for those guests on the menu to whom you want to subtly recommend a different place.

Full clinker versus slips can definitely be weighed, but there must be more than just the "visible layer" that differs: full clinker is intended for a masonry facing shell, slips are applied to the wall somewhat like "brick tiles." The layperson’s thinking that slips are basically the same, just cut thinner, does not fit because of the different processing method.

Honestly, I also don’t believe that full clinker bricks are cheaper than slips.

They are not; only in combination with the installation. Economically, slips combined with WDVS in my opinion can only be attractive if you use them for accent areas, but not for full-surface cladding of the façade. The smaller the proportion of clinker-faced wall areas, the more likely slips can have the advantage. In the actual domain of slips, their application on monolithic walls, the situation looks different.

In the first appointment, clinker slips were directly recommended to us, as they are cheaper than full clinker bricks.

The typical house salesperson is often distinguished from the builder only by the tie.

Personally, I don’t care about the construction at all; in the end, I want the look at a fair price. From what you read, slips are used relatively often (also in new construction) to save money and wall thickness compared to full clinker bricks.

It’s not as modularly interchangeable as croquettes instead of fries; the wall construction must be thought of somewhat differently, see above.
