Construction abroad

[Killerbee]

Hello

I am building a wooden house in Morocco with insulation. The problem that has arisen is that there is no access to wind barrier or asfabord. So I wonder what I can use instead?

I have access to ground cover fabric 60g per m2, regular masonite boards, and plastic.

What is the best material to replace the wind barrier with?

The walls will be (from inside to outside)
Gypsum board
OSB-like board to be able to securely hang on the wall.
Horizontal nail battens with 60cm cc and mineral wool 5cm in between
Thermoplastic
Standing wall studs with 60cm cc with 15cm mineral wool
Some form of wind protection, I don't know which hence the question.
Horizontal nail battens 60cm cc
Standing panel

If you have the opportunity, please help me with the solution where no wind barrier is needed.

What do the native builders use?

 

[Killerbee]

Have been around here and most of the houses are not insulated, and the few that are constructed are:

Plaster
10cm brick
5cm polystyrene insulation
10cm brick
Plaster

Wood construction is not so common here, and the few that are are usually built in brick but with a wooden facade on the outside.

I forgot to mention that I also have access to 3mm plywood if it can be used.

3mm plywood must work excellently.

I would think that you would sweat heavily in a wooden house in Morocco.

Insulation works both ways

 

[garvin]

Yes, down there they insulate against the heat.

You need some heavy material in the framework that helps to create a delay between day and night. If you don't have it in the wall, you should have it in the floor, for example.

The foundation is made of
concrete moisture barrier
5cm studs
Building board 1.3cm thick
Then comes wooden floor/parquet

What do you mean by heavy?

something that stores/delays temperature fluctuations

 

[Killerbee]

As for example?
The temperature fluctuations are not so large between day and night. About 35 during the day and 25 at night during the summer, and in wintertime 17-20 during the day and 10-12 at night.

 

[justusandersson]

In desert climates, temperature fluctuations are usually larger over the course of the day. Is it the proximity to the Atlantic that makes it not so?

 

[Killerbee]

Is in the northern part, not so much of a desert climate but there is grass and trees and relatively normal fluctuations in temperature.

I know that even in Sweden, it gets quite warm in the attic rooms when the sun is shining. Even if there is some insulation under the roof tiles. 5 cm of insulation is not much. Heavy material refers to material with high heat storage capacity, such as most stone materials. These materials smooth out temperature fluctuations. That's what makes it feel cooling when entering a church in hot countries. Wooden houses do not have that ability.
