It's my thread that MV posted above we are currently building a Hebel house, and living in my parents' house, which is also Hebel. The insulation is amazing, cool in summer and warm in winter - sorry to disagree ch0p! We moved here from a brick rendered house and I've definitely noticed a difference (even though the temperatures here are higher than our old town). Mum and Dad live out of town so there's not much noise here to insulate from With regard to the clothesline, there is something special you have to do, some kind of reinforcement - I'm not sure what, as we are having a rotary clothesline so I didn't find out any more info yet. Your builder should be able to tell you. I'm not sure on the maintenance either, as this house is only 13 months old and hasn't required any maintenance yet. Mum and Dad only have a carport and our garage walls will be plastered. We wanted render anyway so it was just a bonus for us, especially since the Hebel went up in a day, so you cut a few days off your build time! Our house hasn't been rendered yet, hopefully this week or next week.

However, I don't… 0 5896 1 6624 1000000% definitely add insulation. I have in my home and it makes a big difference minimising sound transfer. Insulation is pretty cheap and definitely worth it 2 6191 |
