Hello,
we are building a mid-terrace house and have the following problem:
The right neighbor is already building, so the execution of the partition wall to the neighbor is clear. 17.5 cm KS plus 2 cm Odenwald board or mineral wool. So it results in KS - 2x 2 cm Odenwald board - KS. According to my information, this is the standard execution.
However, the left property will not be developed in the foreseeable future! Therefore, the question arises how the left wall (which is now initially an exterior wall) should be constructed so that the wall is protected from weather and insulated. Our builder’s suggestion is also to use a 17.5 cm KS stone plus 6 cm insulation boards plus plaster, built on the property boundary. This is supposed to be the optimal solution regarding moderate thermal insulation until the neighboring terraced house is built. The insulation should then remain if construction takes place on the left.
Is that sensible? Are there any disadvantages regarding sound insulation towards the neighbor if you use the 6 cm insulation boards compared to the Odenwald boards or bituminized soft fiberboards as they are also called?
When using the 6 cm insulation, we have already been informed of an additional cost of about €2000, but I do not yet know the exact amount. The left wall has an area of about 100 m². Does anyone know how the 2 cm Odenwald boards compare in price with the 6 cm insulation boards? Because only if the insulation boards are significantly more expensive than the Odenwald boards can I explain the surcharge. The Odenwald board would then no longer be needed.
When the neighbor eventually builds, will the Odenwald board be applied to our plaster or how is the execution likely to be?
Perhaps someone here has had a similar situation before.
Thanks in advance!
