When we build our home, we want to use the best materials because it will be the space where we live and we want to always feel safe. Choosing the best materials, especially when it comes to fire resistance, can be expensive, but it pays off in the long run.
When you go to a store specializing in construction and DIY, you should always ask yourself: “Do I prefer to pay the builder or the doctor?”
The correct answer to this question will always be "the builder" because we want to live in a house that is resistant and very well protected against fire and large fires.
The most fire-resistant material is brick, which also has a very high structural strength, ensuring a solid construction and resistance to high temperatures and fires. We joke, but the story of the piglets who built their houses to protect themselves from the wolf has a grain of truth.
Even if it wasn't about a fire in the story, the brick house was the one that resisted until the end.
Surprisingly for many, but gypsum represents another viable option for our home, but it can only be used for walls and in the form of a layer applied on an existing structure. The advantage of gypsum is its low cost compared to other materials in the same category and the fact that it resists higher temperatures than almost any other material available on the market.
