minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year agoThe real question is, why is there any brick at all? (The answer is almost certainly that somebody other than the engineer imposed the requirement.)
minus-squareAllYourSmurf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up23·1 year agoBrick waterproof. Brick termite-proof. Brick fireproof.
minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoPanel same (probably, depending what kind of panel).
minus-squareanomnom@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoNo, panel only as waterproof as the coating protecting it. Brick is rock, takes centuries to wear out.
