Not to mention european houses also have drywall over the concrete these days, the days of barren concrete or plaster over concrete have been over since at least the 90s.
- abraxas 3y agoI've never been to a European house that has drywall over concrete or brick. The only time I see drywall used there is in finished attic areas to cover slanted roof rafters.
- atombender 3y agoVery common here in Norway, at least. Drywall isn't just to create solid surfaces between structural timber, it also helps dampen sound and provide a flat surface for paint. A poured concrete wall is very rough and would require plastering to get a flat, smooth surface, which is more labor-intensive than just drywalling.
