Poroton bricks filled or unfilled?

According to our architect, the filled stones are only useful for noise protection. They have apparently also recently become problematic for disposal. They supposedly no longer qualify as regular construction waste. I don't need it.....

Good evening,

According to our architect, the filled stones only help with noise protection.

With 36.5 stones, soundproofing is so irrelevant ... Your architect probably watched too much Stargate.

Apparently, they have also become problematic for disposal recently. They supposedly can't be disposed of as normal construction waste anymore. I don't need that.....

I would send the person who told you that into the desert. Volcanic glass can hardly be classified as hazardous waste, since it can easily be returned to nature.

Good evening,

The disadvantage of integrated insulation might possibly be the time factor. Who knows where the insulation will be in 20 years. Maybe it will diminish over time.

In my opinion, you should keep your hands off the mouse...

That may be, but this property is also advertised everywhere.

That is indeed just a rumor that is spread here about Unipor CORISO.

Hello,

... but this feature is advertised everywhere as well.

Yes, I know, and it is precisely this - not entirely untrue, but also not entirely truthful - advertising that often leads to unspeakable discussions in sales conversations, which have nothing to do with serious consulting anymore.

I myself experienced this situation just Monday evening, when a colleague from a prefab house company told one of my prospects that if he built with him, "he (the prospect) would save €1,000.00/year in operating costs." I then recommended to my prospect to have this competitor's statement confirmed in writing and subsequently sign the contract with him, because he would still come out ahead – assuming operating costs of €800.00/year.

As an advantage of the filled bricks, the slightly better heat storage capacity should be mentioned. Are there any other advantages in single-family houses that justify the significantly higher purchase price?
