Warm house. Why thick walls you might not pomoch❓.
When a person first encounters with the question of building a house, even studying the information gets only a superficial knowledge. The whole truth emerges only in practice.
👆 Likewise, when I decided to build a house with his own hands (and many months studied in detail this topic), I thought I knew, if not all, very much.
I have already told how and why, I chose the aerated concrete 300 mm thick for the walls of his house. And of course the main criterion, which I considered was the ability to retain heat.
❗ But in the process of laying, I realized that many interrelated and incorrect execution of some things It can negate all the benefits even the thickest walls.
masonry quality.
This is something that you need to pay attention in the first place. Namely, the thickness and the occupancy seams.
❗ When I build for myself, I find it easier to perform it. A careful approach to get working each seam, I think, almost impossible.
But the most important thingThat all those posts, and you can not ever know (disguise this thing easy). And then talk some aerated really cool, and it takes at least half a meter of wall.
Humidity walls.
It is also an important thing that affects the thermal conductivity of the walls. I think everyone understands that The more moisture in the walls, the colder the house.
✅ From initial moisture content of aerated concrete can not escape, but this is temporary. The main thing to avoid any further systematically wet walls. Therefore, you should pay attention to the cut-off between the waterproofing foundations and walls, where in the first place can be a leak of moisture (how it has fulfilled me and faced the challenges,read this article).
But there is an important thing that can affect it ...
Improper exterior decoration.
Even the lack of finish may be less of a problem than wrong her performance.
❗ walls must be constantly "breathing" and remove moisture from the house to the outside. Te vapor permeability of the walls should increase from the inside outward.
And if you do the opposite, due to improper insulation or impregnation of the walls, the constant humidity of the blocks will be provided, and as a result of increased heat loss, too.
Thickness.
💥 Therefore, throughout this sequence the thickness of the walls is in last place.
Of course this does not mean you have to build from 100 mm blocks ...
But when you decide to spend money on a large wall thickness, do not be lazyand to provide rules of construction, to the thickness benefited.
