A) Masonry block walls with timber frame
Masonry walls can be insulated with timber frame structures when the external facade is wooden boards or steel sheets. You can choose two layer systems with PAROC eXtra and PAROC WAS 25t / PAROC Cortex or one layer system with PAROC WAS 35 or PAROC Cortex One. Two-layer systems minimise cold bridges in the structure.
