Why are you actually getting upset?

>>75449824
Why are?

>>75449718
Cause it looks good ya dipshit

>>75449718
If you don't tape and bed, it wont look as nice.

labor and materials are expensive af so they have to settle down with cardboard and cancerogenous materials if they want to build a house.
My parents are building a 320m^2 modern style house out of pure reinforced concrete with less than 70K USD.

In case of a fire an American can easily break through the walls and escape.

>>75449718

We do that too, I don't know its purpose yet.

>>75449931
It hides the seams. No bean for you

>>75449920
that kind of walls are made with wood or aluminium frame, isolation, and cardboard with cast. So yeah it has cardboard in it, well at least the ones I've seen

>>75450009
There's no cardboard involved. Perhaps you saw the back of a drywall sheet and thought it was cardboard.

>>75450058
I guess so then. Seem weird I've always thought that's where the cardboard meme was from.

>>75450114
It's paper not cardboard.

>>75449808
It really seems to be a boring OP text that looks like a million others.

>>75450114
So even in the shittiest of Americans homes, you would have siding -> tyvak -> osb -> 2x4 wooden frame with fiber insulation between -> drywall. Plumbing provides additional support which is why they tell people in tornado areas to go into bathroom closets if they don't have storm shelters.

>tfw my city is no longer in Tornado alley because it's slowly shifted East

Fucking boring. I miss the nados

>>75450522
How the hell do you "miss nados"??

You like danger?

>>75450522
There's never been a notable tornado in my area. There was almost one like 6 years ago but it didn't touch down. I feel like hearing that tornado siren would be scary

The drywall is backed and faced with thick paper, which is basically what cardboard is.
The plaster itself is also often infused with paper.

Drywall is basically glorified cardboard.

>>75449808
Why do americans reply like that?

>I feel like hearing that tornado siren would be scary
Nah, where I live, tornado sirens are tested every first Tuesday of the month (I think it might only be during tornado season months? never bothered to pay attention)

You get desensitized by them in the same way that someone living near train tracks would eventually tune it out.

Isn't the East the most populated half of the US?

>>75449718
That looks fine

>>75449904
isn't a concrete house bad since your house is always cold and not insulated?

>>75451048
Yeah the main ingredient is chalk, though. The ratio is like 200:1; 1mm cardboard 2 cm chalk.

>>75451927
The plaster has paper in it too.

And conversely, paper often also contains chalk.

>>75451872
What.

Concrete is isolating from itself.
I live in a concrete house, only behind the bricks and under the roof do we have isolation. We can keep our house on a pretty constant temperature, even with massive windows facing south-west.
