Hello!
We are fully renovating an old and extended house.
We are going to re-plaster the entire house and are preparing for it.
We have demolished part of the front of the house. The house is mostly timber.
The demolished part lacks an old facade. We had planned to put mineral wool on the timber, and where there are holes into the house on the beams, and then concrete bricks that are built up to fit in with the rest of the Mexi-brick. The carpenters received regular insulation and have installed it instead of the intended mineral wool. The construction is progressing quickly. Is this a problem or could it become one? I'm a bit worried as a layperson; I know very little about house renovations.
Please help!!!!

I mean yellow insulation that can be used indoors and outdoors, and also those panels that are a bit more dark green.
By the first, I mean regular insulation, and in the second case mineralullplattor.
There you see how little I know...help!

Okay, you're talking about glass wool versus stone wool. Both are mineral wool, and it's the stone wool you're thinking of when you say mineral wool. There are plaster-bearing boards, façade boards, made of glass wool as well, but you're not supposed to use the regular ones that you put in the walls. The façade boards are stiffer.

The facade boards, also known as "Västkustskivor," are available in many different dimensions... used primarily like jon_h as plaster carrier boards, but can also be used as dilation joints...
