Brick House last longer wooden house? Traditionally believed that wooden houses are impermanent, whereas stone built for centuries. Maybe once and it was – the stone buildings in a half-meter thick were centuries, and the huts of wood to bend any. Times have changed. Now the thickness of the brick walls has been reduced considerably, and masonry is not always done on the conscience – two hundred years, this building probably will not serve. On the contrary, in a wooden Construction there has been significant progress.

Dampness is not so frightening: the modern antiseptics do not allow micro-organisms and leaf-drevotochtsam destroy wood.

In the 21st century used flame retardants – substances that significantly reduce the flammability of wood. Every year they are becoming better reducing the chance of fire.

Well impregnated with fire retardant timber or timber can not practically vozgoretsya. At the same time, although the brick and does not burn, and fires occur in brick houses and do not pass without a trace. With long-term effects of direct fire resistance of masonry is reduced in half, and it may collapse especially in older homes. In fact, can burn almost anything. If the wood and brick in the inferior fire, then only a small share. Bouquet merits of wooden houses there are, of course, moments in which the bricks ahead of a tree. Uneven shrinkage can cause cracks in the latter (but this can be avoided). The thermal inertia of the tree is smaller (but thermal conductivity is also lower). In more brick finishes (although modern wooden houses have their catch by number). And at the same time, the houses have a number of indisputable advantages: 1.Nevysokaya thermal conductivity -Allows you to quickly heat a room stove and the sun's rays. 2.Do not kept here, and damp – the tree 'breathe', and all excess moisture away. 3.Maly Weight-saves on the foundation, and in general are usually cheaper wooden house brick (Though not always).
