Re: Suggestion with Hebel Construction 9Jul 20, 2021 11:42 am Ashington Homes alexp79 Most of the ppl here are talking about replacing brick veneer with Hebel panels on the timber frame and not building with Hebel blocks frameless. Hebel blocks are breathing and at 250+ mm do not require extra insulation to comply with 2.8R for the walls. They also have thermal mass and they are much better than even double brick when it gets to noise/sound transmission insulation. The main issues are a) they have to be rendered both from inside and outside; b) they are quite fragile, so will require special fixing systems when you decide to attach something to the wall (standard won't simply work). It is also recommended to use special aeroconcrete glue to attach blocks together instead of standard cement based mortar. Hi Big Brain Alex I hope you are well buddy. I just wanted to ask what you meant in your post by rendering Hebel inside and out? We have never done this and I have double checked the powerwall installation instructions and I couldn't see that requirement. Also the way that it fixes to the battens when they intern fix over the top of the wrap, I cant see how it would be possible to render it from the inside. This worries me as I know you are a building technology nerd and may have picked up on something we have missed. Or maybe I misread your post? PS hows your build going? Simeon Hi Simeon, You only need to render (or better word to use - wet plaster) inside if you use Hebel masonry blocks (without framing), it is certainly not required for panels. My build has been restarted and almost immediately stopped due to current lockdown No the fireplace doesn’t work. It’s been enclosed. I’m not sure what was removed, as it was done quite some time ago - well before what I can see with photos online… 2 11680 I have a really long hallway which is 1100mm W x 11500mm L I would appreciate if anyone can give suggestions to light it up with Linear LED lights that goes from wall to… 0 8933 Thank for yes basically what to remove and what to add, where to place them 2 7537 |
