Why are American houses often of such poor quality?
But are they? I mean you are talking the dry wall in a house. There is no point of putting harder/heavier/more expensive materials on the inside of the house.
The Short Answer
But are they? I mean you are talking the dry wall in a house. There is no point of putting harder/heavier/more expensive materials on the inside of the house. As you have the studs in wall in case you need more support. Also take into consideration many houses in the US are built along the coast and made to withstand some Hurricanes, while in the Plains they are routinely hit with Tornadoes and some houses can withstand that. Again it all comes down construction costs, but I also think many homes are much more durable than you think. Keep in mind how much older homes are in Europe and how much less room there is in Europe compared to here. So different construction methods and different materials were used in the building process. I also think that another consideration is that American homes are much larger than in Europe. So if they are of lesser quality, I think that some of the cost may be spread out more materials for larger houses.
