Hello,
I have a question regarding the wall construction of timber frame houses.
For example, the company Allkauf Haus advertises an "unrivaled breathability" of the wall, even though rigid foam and a PE film are part of the wall construction.
Such a wall with PE film can't really breathe anymore, can it?
Thank you!
Regards
Rainer

No matter which wall construction you choose, walls do not breathe. Breathing houses come from the time when windows were still drafty. Today, a plaster can absorb a minimal amount of moisture and release it again (ideal: clay plaster), everything else is just advertising buzzwords.

I interpret the current situation as "the new plot is not even secured yet" - that would be a very wrong time to commit to a construction method or even a specific provider (I almost said general contractor, but that would not apply for a self-builder). Design should not come before the plot, contractor selection not before the design. Why build a new house at all?

Yes, true, the plot is not final yet... clear that a decision comes only when you have a valid development plan. The old house has become too big for me...
