What to make the walls from?
If you recall the old children’s fairy tale about three piglets, which very well reflects the realities of our life, then we will clearly understand that in our conditions it is impossible to save on the walls of our house. Of course, you can get involved in environmental construction and build houses from straw, reed and even from camel spine, but as they say from the fairy tale you can’t throw it away. It was a stone house in front of the wolf. And if you want to build a reliable house and live without being afraid that it is about to fall apart, then, I think, you will choose a stone.
Of course, a stone is a strongly exaggerated concept and it means concrete, brick, and foam concrete blocks, and t. p. Materials that have a solid weight and strength in the literal sense. The most old and well -known material of the walls is certainly a brick. It has good strength, frost and atmospheric resistance, as well as good heat engineering characteristics. The strength qualities of concrete are not in doubt at all since they can be almost any in a very wide range, but such walls require insulation, which, in principle, is also not a problem. Pen -concrete blocks are relatively new material – they are strong, convenient in installation and thermal insulation qualities are so good that in most cases they do not need to be insulated.
The design features of the walls are not very diverse. Perhaps one -layer, and multi -layer can be distinguished. Single -layer walls consist of one type of material, which borders on the interior and street. With the design of multi -layer walls is a little more complicated, they usually consist of the main (supporting) part of the wall of thermal insulation material and cladding in some cases cladding, for example, in the form of facing bricks can be without insulation.
