Well, sort of... I don't see much usage of synthetic foils for added insulation in Brazilian wooden houses, which are mostly single-walled, yet thickness of the planks may vary considerably. And nowadays, most new wooden houses are assembled from prefabricated kits, a method which had also been more common with prefabricated houses made out of moulded concrete which are an alternative to brick-and-mortar.

We dont use stone or brick because the proper preparation work and materials, labor to install is double the regular rate per square foot.
The construction site always becomes a mess, and it's much more of a PITA when it's a space constrained site.
