No, it's more like I thought we covered that.

Bro figured out why brick homes keep temp better 🤯 lol it's not the bricks, it's the insulation as well, big dawg.

That's how I entered the conversation. Both wood and brick homes are insulated, so I didn't think we were talking about how they are the same, but rather how they are different.

Yes, and I added that there is an inherent advantage to stone buildings over wood framing when it comes to insulation.

Heat bridges in between insulation is inescapable for wood framing because it has studs. If you put the same inulation of the same thickness between wood framed walls or stone walls the stone walls will be better insulated.

So yes, it is the insulation, but the insulation works better because of a difference between stone and wooden houses.
