Silikaatvoodriga

Can anyone explain to me the building method used when you read in an advert for a house: silikaatvoodriga palkmaja.

All these houses seem to be log homes built in the 30's or 40's and covered by bricks sometime in the 70's or 80's and from the outside look like regular kivimajad.

Is that correct that they simply lined the outside of the wood in bricks? Are the bricks used calcium silicate bricks? What materials did they use between the bricks and wood?

Thanks!
Alex

Yup. I believe the English term is breezeblock? Wood structure with a silicate brick lining. I imagine some sort of insulation in between, but if it's from the 30s, don't put much stock in it...
