Mineral wool as base insulation?

Hello, a simple question, can I use regular mineral wool for the base insulation behind the brick cladding or is there anything against it?

For this detail, you should use so-called Perimeter insulation, which are insulating materials intended for the application "components in contact with the ground" and handle moisture well. Mineral wool can become wet and then loses its insulating capacity and stability.

Perimeter insulation? Never heard of it, good that I asked, otherwise I would have used regular mineral wool. The perimeter insulation is surely available at the hardware store, right?

Yes, exactly, perimeter insulation (are mostly rigid foams made of PU or EXP) can be found in the hardware store.

No, that is not recommended.

We used the EPS insulation boards. These boards provide effective thermal insulation in the base area. There are also no problems with moisture.

Yes, I also bought it at the specialist store. I used EPS, which is expanded polystyrene rigid foam. This is good insulation for the base area. However, it is not so easy to install this insulation. That is why I consulted a professional.
