: 1.) In the area of ceilings, the use of Styrodur strips often poses no problem at all. As a rule, the compressive stress limits of the masonry are not reached in the upper floors. However, it can be quite different in the lower floor. Especially in areas such as masonry pillars (between two large windows to the terrace), the limit compressive stresses of the masonry are often reached. If a part of the bearing surface of the stone is missing, failure can occur.
2.) Just because Styrodur is increasingly used for decoupling the floor slab in new buildings does not make this mistake any more correct. In case of damage, this issue will come back to haunt the planner and/or the executor. Aside from the fact that this execution is not DIN-compliant, the manufacturers of the sealing materials specify mineral substrates as the basis. Styrodur is not mineral and therefore does not meet the requirements of the manufacturers or the building supervision approval of the material. If it is still executed this way and damage occurs, the expert will classify the execution as non-compliant or defective.
