5 Factors To Be Considered While Insulating Interiors Of Old Brick Buildings: CAD Architectural Services

Jun 1, 2020 | Posted by The AEC Associates | CAD Architecture Services |

Brick has always been one of the favorite building materials for the building professionals, top providers of CAD architectural services like The AEC Associates continue this love affair even in this age where steel and concrete are primarily used for building purposes. Brick load bearing structures are still being used, especially for low-rise buildings, however, they also present a unique challenge for CAD architectural services providers. Trouble is that while these walls were plastered on the interior sides, designers rarely thought about insulating them against the elements.

CAD Architectural Services

It’s not quite simple or easy for CAD architectural services to insulate load-bearing brick wall interiors. When you try to insulate the interior surfaces of a brick building during the winter season, bricks tend to get colder. These are wetter than warm bricks, it’s essential to drive out this moisture somehow to avoid rotting of bricks.
An uninsulated wall lets escaping heat pass through to drive out the moisture but insulated walls remain wet for longer periods. Repeating cycles of freezing and thawing result in permanent damage of bricks, making the building unfit for living. One should take care of the following factors to effectively insulate brick wall interiors and avoid such a situation.

  • It’s noticed that colder climates present a greater risk of freezing-thawing damage.
  • CAD architectural services must remember that the thickness of insulating layer can increase the damage proportionately, so insulation layer should be as thin as possible.
  • The amount of rainfall will proportionately increase the risk of damage to the bricks.
  • Assess the quality of brick since it also determines the risk of damage; use different methods like the color, and weight of the bricks and the sound that comes on tapping them.
  • Consider the possibility of ends of joists and beams embedded in the exterior walls rotting in case the interiors are insulated.

It’s essential for the providers of CAD architectural services to weigh their options in light of the above factors before deciding to insulate the interiors of old, existing brick buildings. Certain measures become necessary if you finally decide to take up this job.
