Block wall around timber frame

Hello all, 

 

I was wondering what peoples thoughts are on having a block skin around the whole of the timber frame kit.

 

The way my house has been designed is that we have a 140mm Timber frame - 50mm Cavity - 100mm Block Skin - 140mm Stone at low level - 25mm larch mounted to 50mm battens that are fixed to the block work. 

 

I'm wondering if i do actually need the block work or if i can fit cladding and stone work to the kit providing i still leave a cavity.

I think what you put around your timberframe is down to the final finish. 

 

If you want brick then use brick

if you want stone then use stone

if you want render, then blocks with render, not a silly board that you render onto

if its timber cladding then that can be fixed direct with battens
