Lightweight construction

Advantages:

  • very good thermal insulation despite low wall thickness
  • short construction time
  • less construction moisture

disadvantages

  • lower sound insulation
  • lower thermal insulation in summer
  • changes to the load-bearing construction are more difficult

Solid construction

Advantages:

  • good sound insulation
  • better thermal protection in summer
  • easier changes in the construction
  • good thermal insulation with somewhat thicker walls

disadvantages

  • higher wall thicknesses
  • longer construction times
  • changes to the load-bearing construction are more difficult

Mixed forms

If extensions with different stresses are required, as in our planning for Jochen Rieck’s butcher’s shop, a mixed form of lightweight and solid construction is recommended.
