This type of wall contains the most important components of an insulated wall structure. However meeting high level thermal requirements results in a thick and uneconomical wooden stud size. Often it is a better solution to use a Nordic Wall application, which is more economical and gives muchbetter thermal resistance.
A brick façade keeps the air movements in the ventilation channel at a lower level compared to a wooden panel. A brick wall absorbs a lot of water – the water may even penetrate through the whole brick lining. To prevent the water from leaking into the insulation a proper ventilation gap must be designed. The gap must be solid, open and finless. To ensure proper ventilation of the structure, every third vertical seam of the second lowest layer-of-bricks should be left open. |
