Materials+Review

**Script**    Between Andrea and Valentina ** //A// **//: Hi Valen! How are you?// V **: Fine, very well! What about yourself? What have you been up to lately? //** A **: Actually, my Dad is building a house and we have been having several discussions about it with the architect... // V **: Oh! that`s wonderful Congratulations! //A:// ** //Oh yes thanks... But see I wanted to ask you some questions about the material in which we should built the house. We`ve been having quite a hard time choosing the accurate one.// V: ** And why is that? First of all, I ought to remind you that the location is fundamental if you want to make the best decision. Tell me, where are you building the house and which materials have you considered? //A:// **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">//Well we are building it in Vancouver and we haven’t been able to decide between concrete or brick. Even though they are both so different it’s because of my Dad, he is not quite sure about the idea of building a modern concrete house.// V: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Aaaa I see, but you have to remember that Vancouver has a temperate weather in which winter can actually get pretty cold. Also you have to take into account that concrete is not very appropriate for isolating the low temperatures. //**<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> A: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> I know but to me it`s more appealing the idea of building a concrete home, it`s less repetitive. // V: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> I know, but even the idea of considering brick is not that accurate because that material is more suitable for tropical weathers. Is very affordable, but is not that resistant. Concrete, on the other hand can be very expensive and is considered a very cold material. //**<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> A: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> That`s true I see the point, we will never be able to make the right decision if we only focus in the external aspect of the material. // V: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Totally, even if your Dad likes the idea of using brick because of all of the different aspects that it can be given with the use of several bricklaying techniques, or because of the variety of color and the fastest way of making it, he ought to consider the way this material behaves in such weathers. Also, Concrete, can be used in specific structures around the house, but you definitely will have to suppress the idea of using it as the most dominant material in the house. <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//<span style="font-size: 80%; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">A: ** I see... But which other material would you recommend me then? // <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-size: 80%; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">V: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Well wood is a very common material used in those types of weather, in combination with drywall and other specialized materials that isolate the house from the surrounding temperatures. Anyway, I would definitely would tell you to try to find the proper material that will suit the weather conditions, and then, to focus on the design of the house itself. //**<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> A: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Totally true... I can see you point now. Thanks for all the advice Valen I will be definitely reconsidering your ideas to go and talk to my dad! media type="custom" key="3418494" //
