Poles: "Why would you build your house out of cheap flimsy wood?"
Trev: "Would you build your ship out of rocks?"
Poles: "No. We would use proper metal to have robust ship and adequate masonry for a robust house."
info from Poland:foundation is expensive. Poles cut costs without building basements. A basement needs strong water protection. (again costs).
The basement becomes a storage place for junk.
Rich people build cellars, turning them into swimming pools, saunas, exercise rooms.
A Polish house is being built for all subsequent users. In the states, it is built for one generation.
There is no tradition of building with wood in Poland. It disappeared a long time ago. Wooden houses are old houses in the countryside - they are associated with low social status
Roofs in Poland are made of tile-like sheet metal (75% cheaper solution). Or from tiles (25% more expensive solution)
In Poland we call the semi-detached houses "bliźniak", literally "twin"
Nie wiem co tu dziwnego. Dla nas dziwne jest to, że w USA są domy z dykty, wytrzymałe tylko do pierwszego większego wiatru.
Ubezpieczenie jeśli dom zostaje na miejscu ( nawet mocno uszkodzony ) nie wypłacą odszkodowania
Dlatego takie budują. Jak przyjdzie tornado to rozwali też te z pustaków, a domy z dykty są tańsze i szybsze do odbudowania i nie potrzebują ocieplenia, bo tornada są tylko w tych ciepłych stanach jak Floryda, Texas itd. U nas jak była wichura to domy z pustaków i cegieł zdmuchnęło jak domki z kart. A żeby to odbudować to ze dwa lata i to tylko jak masz na to kasę, a jak nie masz to dłużej.
@@basbas768 nie domy zdmuchalo, tylko dachówki
W murowanych domach nawet kilka pokoleń może mieszkać. A w tych z dykty, już nie.
Polska Kurwa LOL
Oh boy... big % of houses in Poland have basements... only some of new houses don't have one and its really just cost related tbh
Exactly. Plus average houses would be more than 100m^2 and something like Dar said it is average in US, which would be 150 m^2. Obviously it may depend on the region in Poland, so I'm not 100% sure, as in my are people are building rather big ones.
In Poland most homes got concrete floors downstairs and up so its easy to do any type of floor covering as base is sturdy and won't move and crack tiles or wood flooring.
few things are off:
- basements are super common, but they are not ones where you live; more like a cellar type of thing (where you keep food, gardening tools and "i will definitely use that thing someday" type of stuff
- microwaves are a standard, have not seen a home without one. They are not used as often like in US though
I would also add that a tea kettle is a must (usually electric), we don't use british type toasters - the use ones that look like waffle makers & garbage disposals don't exist here
Yep much more people use microwaves but still most people don't really think it's nesecarry
ut I did see many homes without them
most of the "livable" or accomodated basements are the ones when half of the level is under ground and half is above. but theyll still mostly used as a storage, garage, "the furnace room is there, sometimes second kitchen
Most of people I know don't have a microwave
People in most houses don't use microwaves because they not healthy.
@@aidasmatulaitis5175 Exactly.
more ofter the semi-detatched houses in poland are called a twin (twin house) bc the interior is the same but mirrored with the one wall they share
My friend live in that type of house.
Upper floor is also concrete. And the base for the roof on that floor is also concrete and much of steel 🤘
Between the thick walls (with added insulation layer which wasn't mentioned in the video) and the vacuum sealed multiple panes windows homes are pleasantly cool until You hit over 30°C.
Considering between 20 and 28 mandatory paid vacation days? This is the time of year when everyone who can is somewhere on a beach.
We have plenty of ACs, but they are generally placed in workspaces (Shops, offices, factories ) for all the poor bastards who can't get time off.
one of the reasons why AC is rare in PL is bc hoses built with bricks or concrete keeps the temperature longer inside and its not getting hot inside when its hot outside. so after winter the house keeps nice chill inside during summer and after summer the house keeps longer hottnes inside
The main reason is the price of electricity. A lot of people don't light their houses at all at night to save money.
@@Ntwadumela1 its not the reason at all, prices are high now. Earlier prices were not high and AC were rare anyway.
@@Vhsbdg In Ukraine, a lot of people have AC, but the price of energy there is 5 times lower than in Poland.
„Ukraina ceny energii elektrycznej”
My house is built of brick and concrete and it's hot AF inside even though I have all the windows open 24/7. Thermal inertia is greater in such a house than in a wooden house, but if it is hot for three days straight, there is no chance that it will not get hot inside.
My house in Poland and one of my sister’s is cold downstairs during heatwaves. So as the old terraced house im living now in the Uk. Upstairs is warm, downstairs - nice cold. It depends on the material of the walls, double glazing, if you open the window (during heatwave you cover the windows with curtains or window blinds and open the windows only in the evenings if it’s colder outside)
@@Ntwadumela1sorry, but whole 2022-2023 winter seson i was heating house by AC (two function ones) and it costs me about 120usd less than heating by natural gas. 3,5kW AC (rating power 3,5kW for cooling and 3kW for heating. Because it is a heat pump it's efficiency is much higher and the real power consumption is about 0,8-1,2kWh). The cost of Haier AC (chinesse firm that makes most of production for Fujitsu) with wifi contol is about 800USD with mounting service. So two function AC works at my home for about 10 months a year. 3 months of cooling and 7 of heating ;).
In the subject of basement. It is not a case of soil but the costs. And not even the costs ob building it but the cost of final finishing it (stairs, plasters, floors, etc.). Beside of it many Polish houses has a attics that are used as storage area.
basements most of older houses have them newer ones often don't because cost is too high.
In poland people have all kinds of floors. They can have nice wooden floor. Tiles in the kitchen or hall or all wood everwhere its just preference and cost.
about the bug screens,
before the new "plastic" windows we had wooden ones and the practice to make the isolation better for winter times was to put another set of windows, so we had one opening tothe inside and anothe to the outside. the new ones open to the inside.
you can have the bug screen made custom to your windows but very common thing (which i use) is to buy a set with a net and a sticky velcro piece and attach the strap to the frame and put the cuy to size net on it, it works very well and you can take if off and throw it into washing machine.
what i have to say, the screen doors could be more common :)
the old type of windows you mentioned was called "box windows" and they were popular until 60 ties, nowadays still produced for historical/ antique buildings. In winter the space between both parts was colder than the interior and warmer than the exterior so it served as refrigerator. I still remember my grandparents keeping butter and milk between the panes. 🙂
I used nets like this before and they were useless. The only thing that works in the long run is custom-made nets with a rigid plastic frame. They are attached to the window with such small springs.
Dude, you NEED AC cuz your houses are paper thin! Bricks can isolate better. I'm from south west Poland and I do have an AC in my house and triple glass windows so I'm isolated in both sides. Also I don't have to pay with my arm and leg for my bills for both hitting and AC cuz is so good isolated.
On microwave - abosolutley NOT true. I havent been into polish apartment or house that does not have them. They are nou used as a primary way of cooking, rather to heat up a dish that has been cooked hours or a day before. It's a standard applience in poland.
I am from Poland and used to have wooden countertop but our new kitchen has ones made from granit It's great and I love it but there is one drawback They chip really easily
So you must have it from marble or other stone because granite is very hard and doesn't chip at all.
I love watching foreign channels reacting to things related to Poland 😂😂❤ps. I'm from Poland
The correct name of this dance is Mazur! Not Mazurka! Mazur is national dance, Mazurka is melody, a stylized combination of Mazur, Oberek and Kujawiak.
Check out Polish National Folk Ballet “Śląsk”.
He made a mistake when calculating square footage of polish homes, instead of calculating from square meters to square foots, he calculated from meters to foots like lenght is calculated. It should be 1076 sq feet instad of 328.
Homes don't need Aircon in Poland as they build from heat retain materials so they got thermal insulation , at winter they keep heat longer and in summer they turn to cave type and are nice and cool.
This is not quite true, air conditioning would be useful but it is too expensive for most Poles.
@@Patrycja-pd1mk Tak właśnie próbują sobie to tłumaczyć Polacy, a jak masz pieniądze, to się nie zastanawiasz, tylko zakładasz i już. Dla ludzi na Zachodzie komfort i bezpieczeństwo są na pierwszym miejscu.
@@Patrycja-pd1mk Wiem, jak to wygląda w Polsce, bo tu mieszkam. Od czerwca do końca sierpnia potrafią być upały, że się wytrzymać nie da. Poza tym klimatyzacja nie tylko chłodzi, ale też osusza. Wystarczy spojrzeć, ilu Ukraińców ma klimę, ale to dlatego, że tam energia elektryczna jest bardzo tania.
15:17 No, you have not invented electricity. I'm sorry.
When I bought my first apartment, I didn't have room for a microwave oven, and ever since I just got used to not having one, and never got one since. Even if it takes longer to heat frozen food in the oven, I just prefer it like that. Defrosting things? Just take it out in time to let it defrost. It's not probably a cost saving in the end, but it's one less thing to bother about.
It is healthier to use oven than a microwave.
I am from Poland And I'm living in the house 280 m^2 (3013ft^2)
the basement is the basis of almost every home in Poland
trzeba wziąć pod uwagę klimat ,tam gdzie są np trzęsienia ziemi lepiej lekkie drewniane niż ginąc pod gruzami jak ostatnio w Turcji ,jak mieszkasz na północy dom musi być solidny ocieplony ,nie ma jednej recepty dla każdego
👍
If live Kansas i dont want to have flimsy wood have especially during Tornado Season
07:21 Nie, my siedzimy w szałasach, zajadając mrówki
co ten gosc gada.... 60% to kłamstwo
Nowadays nobody just do masonry layer, there is insulation before that, usually 10-20cm of construction polystyrene.
