Brick walls must not be less than 150 centimeters, squared timber walls - 50 centimeters and only 15 centimeters for wooden framework walls.

A house that will comply with all the modern demands in energy efficiency, comfort, ecology and fire safety, must be built due to framework technology with efficient thermal insulation materials. Read the rest of this entry »
