The Nordic Wall with brick lining provides an excellent solution for the extreme condition requirements of the Nordic winter. Fully-covering wall insulation on top of the studs significantly reduces cold bridges and the amount of moisture on the wooden studs.
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.
The wall must also be designed so that water can run out of the structure. |
