Construction abroad

[Killerbee]

3mm plywood what are they? Are you thinking of masonite?

Then 40mm batten is not enough, you also need ströläkt for approved ventilation

3mm plywood is available here but masonite is not. Then I wouldn't have this problem because in the past we used masonite boards before the outer panel in Sweden. But the industry rules are changing more and more, so I might not be 100% updated on the new rules with wood construction.

That sounds like an exciting project. What kind of connection do you have to Morocco?

I don't have any particular connection to Morocco except that I now live there because the climate is more comfortable for my joints.

I have a relative who is currently building a wooden house in Tunisia, which is a neighboring country, and they apparently encounter the same issues with material access and odd sizes of timber, so he chose to import everything directly from Sweden.

But he is building without windpaper and plastic in this way from outside to inside:
Exterior panel standing
Batten 45mm × 70mm with drip edge
Ventilation batten 20mm × 45mm
Plywood sheet
Insulation with Rockwool kraft
Batten 45mm × 45mm
Double plywood sheets
OSB 10mm
Gypsum 12mm

 

[Killerbee]

He recommended that since I'm not using that Ventilationsregel on the outside, I can offset every other batten by a few centimeters to create circulation space.
What do you think?

40mm Battens for air circulation
3mm plywood
150mm rockwool insulation
3mm plywood
50mm Battens for air circulation
50mm rockwool insulation
12mm Construction board similar to OSB
12mm Gypsum / Wood panel

Place a couple of spacers between the plywood and battens to allow for some ventilation. This will cool the panel with the help of air movements on warm, sunny days.

Materials for timber construction here are equal to zero. So I'll have to make spacer blocks myself. Do you have any ideas for dimensions and material?

 

[Killerbee]

What do you think about this method instead of spacers for ventilation under the facade -see image

Some strips of plywood should suffice. 6 or 9mm.

According to Swedish research in the Swedish climate, they are not sufficient.
In full-scale tests, strö- and spikläkt have proven to be superior.

 

[Killerbee]

I understand. However, I don't currently have enough battens in either direction. So my choices are either spacer blocks or leaving a 1 - 2 cm gap between the battens. Or order more timber exclusively for additional battening, which would delay the construction time by 60 days.

 

[Killerbee]

Should I tape the plywood board joints with insulation tape or leave them as they are, do you think? Sorry for all the questions, but this is the first attempt to build in this climate.

I understand. However, I currently don't have enough battens for both directions. So my choices are either spacer blocks or leaving a 1 - 2 cm gap between the nail battens. Or order more wood just for the strip battens and it would delay the construction time by 60 days.

nah, then I would probably do according to the picture.
what type of facade do you have, lock panel etc.?

 

[Killerbee]

Standing panel with cover strips

 

[hul]

Standing panel with cover slats

they are very good for ventilation.
then a built-in ventilation is created via the cover slats if you understand what I mean.

I would have done as in your picture if I also had cover slats, you get an extra security that way.

Forgive my curiosity, but why don't you build like the local traditions?
