Moisture
External walls shall be so constructed that they
will not be damaged by moisture.

The difference
between a
dpc and a
dpm is that
the dpm is
airtight, i.e. all
joints between
different parts
of the dpm are
sealed to
make them
airtight

Figure 45. Bitumen felt shall be inserted above openings or connections between outer leaf and
inner leaf. The felt is attached to the inner leaf. In masonry inner leafs the felt is embedded 23 courses above the insertion in the outer leaf. If brick lintels are used above the openings (see
page 50), the felt shall be embedded above the last of the courses presumed to constitute part of
the lintel. When the inner leaf is constructed by the use of prefabricated elements, the felt is
bonded to a height of 150 mm.

Figure 46 External walls shall be secured against moisture from below. Bitumen felt is placed
securing against moisture from the foundation. At ground level the felt is at the same time
inserted and glued to the concrete slab to prevent air ingress (radon). Furthermore, bitumen
felt is inserted with the purpose of discharging penetrated water. If the wall is particularly
exposed to driving (horizontal) rain, mortar can be left out in every second head joint in the
first course above the bitumen felt. The felt is fixed to the inner leaf as described in figure 45.

Fire precautions
External walls in small houses shall be made at
least as BD-building component 30, and
external as well as internal wall surfaces shall
be made at least as class 2 covering, see
K D - S2 - d0
Enclosure B, Fire.
Building components shall be joined in such a
way that the fire classification of the final
construction is equal to or better than the
classification of each component in the
construction.
If the house is situated closer than 2.5 m from
the boundary or the middle of a path the
external wall facing the boundary shall be at
least BD building element 60. Also a firm
connection between the external wall and the
roof covering must be established. Further, the
external wall facing the boundary shall be
firmly connected to the final cladding on
exterior walls perpendicular to the boundary.
This also applies if the distance to a
neighbouring house on the same plot is less
than 5 m.
Passage of sound
When the noise level from road or rail traffic
is higher than 55 dB, the roof, external walls
and windows shall be constructed to ensure
that the noise level inside habitable rooms
does not exceed 30 dB. Information about
exterior noise levels can be gathered from the
local environmental authorities. If the exterior
noise level does not exceed 65 dB, the
requirement for normal wall and roof
constructions can be fulfilled by the use of
sound reducing windows with a sound
insulation equalling the exterior noise level
minus 30 dB. At higher noise levels acoustic
insulation for external walls and roof must be
considered, see SBI-Direction 172: Acoustic
insulation of buildings.
In Enclosure C, Sound, measuring methods
etc. are specified.
The noise insulation for a normal window with
double-glazing is 25-30 dB.
If the requirement for noise insulation is 35 dB
or above, only windows that are classified and
controlled according to DS 1084, Sound

Figure 61. Five examples of design of the twostep seal shown in figure 60. Different rain
shields are used: A) Mastic seal and
polyethylene backing, B) Round rubber
profile, C) Multi rubber profile, D)
Impregnated self expanding seal, E) Mortar
joint
shield along the post of frames, from being
pressed further into the joint. Instead the water
will seep down along the backside of the rain
shield and out into the open just in front of the
setback seal at the windowsill.
Other examples of fixing windows in external
walls are shown in figures 62,63,64 and65.
The issue of fixing windows is dealt with more
thoroughly in SBI-Direction 177: Joints in
Facades.

Internal walls
Internal walls are usually made of bricks,
blocks, prefabricated elements of lightweight
concrete or as stud walls (wood or steel) clad
in boards (plasterboard, plywood etc).
A load bearing internal wall is a wall carrying
a vertical load from other building components
such as roof and storey partitions. Bracing
walls are walls, which are necessary to ensure
the stability of the house as described on page
13. Walls that are neither load-bearing nor
bracing are called non-bearing walls.
Heat insulation
There are no requirements for heat insulation
of internal walls between heated rooms.
Internal walls facing non-heated rooms assume
the U-value 0.40 in the Heat loss frame.
Fire conditions
Load bearing internal walls and columns in
small houses shall be made at least as BDbuilding component 30. However, in houses
with 1 or 2 storeys and a basement, load
bearing walls in the basement shall be made at
least as BD-building component 60 and stairs
between basement and ground floor shall be
separated from basement or ground floor with
walls which are at least BD-building
component 60. The door in this wall shall be at
least a BD-door 30.
Surfaces on all walls shall be made at least as a
class 2 covering, see enclosure B. Fire.
A 108 mm brick wall and a 100 mm clinker
concrete wall fulfil the requirements for BSbuilding component 60 for storeys heights up
to 2.6 m.
The construction of bearing and non-bearing
wooden stud walls, fulfilling the requirements
as BD-building component 30 and BDbuilding component 60, is shown in figure 66.
Steel stud walls clad with at least 12 mm
plasterboard usually fulfil the requirements for
non-bearing BD-building component 30.
