    No bricks and concrete have high thermal mass, but they have fairly high lamda values making them very poor insulators

    Bricks: 0.84

    Concrete (dense): 1.4

    Hardwood timber: ~0.15

    Woodfibre board: 0.11

    Plasterboard: 0.16

    Wood and plasterboard is still a poor insulator compared to actual insulation materials (they’re around 0.035-0.038, with exception of PIR), but still much better than both brick and solid concrete.
