The bricks extend into the cavity region behind the brickwork. Here, pretty much all homes have a gap between the brickwork and the structure to prevent moisture transfer (although in recent-ish history firms have done cavity insulation, which often has negative consequences as done poorly can result in quite extensive damp and mold).
- Markoff 4mo agoI would think the cavity will be filled with insulation and if you remove it and install there this empty brick you will be leaking heat through this place which will be significantly coolder/noisier.
- pavon 4mo agoThe article image showed it install high on the wall, in what would be the attic. And there are alternate designs that are normal depth, but multiple bricks tall and wide.
- 0xbadcafebee 4mo agoSwift bricks are a fully enclosed unit (other than the hole on the outside)
- IshKebab 4mo agoPotentially but in the photo it is installed in a gable which aren't usually insulated.
