Around here it's installed on roofs to protect against ice damming. And per code it has to be installed up the roof plane from the lower edge until it's 2 feet past the inside heated space below. Maybe that's where your 2 feet is coming from? Here they want the membrane to cover the entire roof. This is what I needed on my addition. http://gfretwell.com/electrical/addition/dry%20in.jpg It is so, when the hurricane blows the shingles off, you still have a roof. Makes a lot more sense to have metal decking instead of stupid shingles. About $20 thousand more. BULL****. I priced a hidden-fastner metal roof install and it was twice the cost of the GAF Timberline shingles. Guess which I chose. More fool you. The metal roofs last FAR longer. Mine is 50 years old now and is as good as when new. BULL**** Fact actually. Like that or lump it. I've never seen paint exposed to direct sunlight look "like new" after 50 years. Mine isnt painted, its a flat roof. Not even visible from the ground. |

Every single decision involves that sort of tradeoff. It's about optimization. Everybody, everywhere, building anything trades off features or convenience for cost. And you sensibly went for a masonry house, but were stupid enough to use stupid shingles for the roof. Some engineer you two are. |

Nothing wrong with brick houses but it is not as simple as you seem to think it is. We have people living in tents because they cannot afford a lace to live. Brick hoses cost more to build and would be out of reach for many. Other considerations are labor, skills, material availability. The last two houses I built were Insulated Concrete Forms, ICFs. Strong, fast, well insulated and economical. There are a dozen suppliers, each with different methods and advantages, all good. Polysteel, Standard ICF, Build Block Phil-Insul for starters. |

Cindy Hamilton Masonty with it's thermal mass works well in some climates - not so well in others. Stick frame allows for easy insulation - brick veneer makes a durable outer finish that also blocks wind well. Aluminum siding also works good where there are no impact issues - Vinyl is not as durable but withstands minor impacts. Neither require regular applications of paint to protect. My house is stick framed with brick veneer on the first storey and aluminum siding on the upper floor. ICF construction has the advantages of high insulation and thermal mass but requires protective coating inside and out - siding and stucco are commonly used on the exterior - also Brick veneer. |

These were houses built between 1870 and 1942. The home I have lived in for the last 40 years the brick veneer is autoclaved concrete brick manufacturde one city away - less than 30 miles. The original shingles were manufactured less than 100 miles away. The lumber was shipped by rail or truck across the province - about 300 miles or less away. The aluminum siding was also produced (from sheet) less than 150 miles away. It was built in 1974. These distances would all be considered pretty much "local" by Australian standards, no???? |

Concrete block is the go to material for houses these days here. It is easier to get to the 150+ MPH wind code with CBS. Brick would come from 600 miles away and is far more labor intensive than block. You also have trouble with the wind code. You probably just use the brick for a decorative coating on the block walls. Tile roofs sound great but the reality is they don't seem to hold up much better than top grade shingles and they are far more expensive to fix when a coconut hits it at 100 MPH. They are still real popular with the northerners who come down and think that is the "Florida Style". Zorro ain't from Florida. The only problem with metal is the price. It is at least twice as much as the best shingles and 40-50% more than tile the last time I priced it out. These days you need the same membrane under all of them (like "Ice and Water") |

Not readily available in other places BULL**** with the clay and even you should be able to work out how to make a kiln. so they use what they could get, Bull**** they do with timber, sidings, stupid shingles etc etc etc. Just as adobe and igloos, you build with what you have. You don't have timber, metal, shingles etc, stupid. You move them from where they happen to be to where you need them. Tad radical I realise. The homes I grew up in were built with locally produced soft yellow clay brick - produced less than 10 miles from where the houses were built - and locally harvested yellow pine and cedar. (double brick - lath and plaster finish on the inside - timber framed interior partitions, floors, and roof structure) That last isnt common at all in the USA anymore. Neither is lath and plaster either. The world has moved on. My uncles home out on the sakatchewan prairie on the other hand was built of lumber shipped in by rail from out of province as timber, clay, and gravel aggregate are and were extremely scarce out there. But easy to ship bricks and that's a small part of the cost of the bricks even a semi is used. These were houses built between 1870 and 1942. And the world has moved on just a tad since then. Good thing. A friend has horse hair plaster. What a mess. The home I have lived in for the last 40 years the brick veneer is autoclaved concrete brick manufacturde one city away - less than 30 miles. The original shingles were manufactured less than 100 miles away. And a metal roof would have lasted a lot longer. Who cares? I won't be around in 50 years. The lumber was shipped by rail or truck across the province - about 300 miles or less away. The aluminum siding was also produced (from sheet) less than 150 miles away. It was built in 1974. But the aluminium would have come far further. Aluminum is dumb. Even smallish hail will completely destroy it, not to mention a little wind. One of the purposes of rocks on shingles (or membrane, for that matter) is weight. These distances would all be considered pretty much "local" by Australian standards, no???? Nope, not with the state capitals. But with those the lumber does move much further than the bricks do. The aluminium vastly further when you count the bauxite. The steel for what is now almost universally used for the roofs too. Most used to be clay or concrete tiles for decades but they arent common at all anymore. The roofs are colorbond which even Trump recognised. Last much longer than stupid shingles. Again, who cares? |

Most used to be clay or concrete tiles for decades but they arent common at all anymore. The roofs are colorbond which even Trump recognised. Last much longer than stupid shingles. Concrete block is the go to material for houses these days here. Not here, tho it should be. Brick veneer is still by far the majority here. It is easier to get to the 150+ MPH wind code with CBS. Brick would come from 600 miles away We used to have a local brickworks but don't anymore. and is far more labor intensive than block. Yeah massive great 8x8x16" blocks go up much more quickly. Bit of a bugger lifting them up to eye level at the end of the day in the top course tho. The bricklayers don't like them. You also have trouble with the wind code. Not here. Brick veneer and double brick works fine. You probably just use the brick for a decorative coating on the block walls. Never seen that done here. Tile roofs sound great but the reality is they don't seem to hold up much better than top grade shingles That's bull****. Never seen one need to be replaced here. and they are far more expensive to fix when a coconut hits it at 100 MPH. That's bull**** too. You just have some extras and replace what gets lost. No flying coconuts here. They are still real popular with the northerners who come down and think that is the "Florida Style". Zorro ain't from Florida. The only problem with metal is the price. Just as true of shingles compared with a tent. It is at least twice as much as the best shingles Bull**** when you include the cost of what is under the shingles and the labour. And metal lasts lots more than twice as long as the best shingles. and 40-50% more than tile the last time I priced it out. Nope, and ditto with whats under them and the labour cost. These days you need the same membrane under all of them (like "Ice and Water") Not under metal decking you don't. |

It is easier to get to the 150+ MPH wind code with CBS. Brick would come from 600 miles away We used to have a local brickworks but don't anymore. They couldn't compete with much bigger brickworks variety of bricks wise and on price too even with the cost of shipping from hundreds of km away. and is far more labor intensive than block. Yeah massive great 8x8x16" blocks go up much more quickly. Bit of a bugger lifting them up to eye level at the end of the day in the top course tho. The bricklayers don't like them. Building is not for wimps. It is with stick built and to a lesser extent bricks. You also have trouble with the wind code. Not here. Brick veneer and double brick works fine. You probably don't even have a wind code We do actually. We get the same result you do, we just call them cyclones. Wiped out Darwin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Tracy It was mostly stick built. We get not quite to dramatic ones quite a few times every summer. The one that took out vast numbers of trees which had been fine for decades here wasn't actually a cyclone but was very destructive. but how do you do uplift protection with bricks? Don't need to, the bricks have ties to the frame behind it with brick veneer and external brick walls have legal requirement for peers etc. With block you can pour the top 16" solid concrete with four #5 rebar in it that is rebar tied to the foundation steel via poured cells in the block. That isnt required here. You probably just use the brick for a decorative coating on the block walls. Never seen that done here. Tile roofs sound great but the reality is they don't seem to hold up much better than top grade shingles That's bull****. Never seen one need to be replaced here. You must not be looking. Fraid I do.

Same with bricks instead of the stupid timber you fools use for the walls too. Bricks were not readily available in many parts of the country. Only because you fools do your houses using cheap and nasty timber and sidings. And even you should have noticed that the timber and sidings don’t actually come from some forest down the road. Iron ore mine in spades. If you look at much of the northeast from Boston to Virginia there are a lot of brick homes.* You need clay and kilns to make them. Everyone has some clay not too far away. Not readily available in other places BULL**** with the clay and even you should be able to work out how to make a kiln. Such a shame you were not available to show them how to do this economically all over the country.* The housing industry would be far different today.* With a nuke powered kiln they could knock out millions of bricks. And they can make the bricks stay warm forever. And light the house. |
