Product Benefits

Brick provides good energy savings as its high thermal mass delays transmission of temperature extremes. Homes are generally finished with what is known as brick veneer and very little maintenance is required. Bricks are laid to create a wall that's separated by a narrow air cavity from the back-up wall. It allows moisture to migrate to the bottom of the wall and drain through weep holes.

Brick walls are generally mounted on concrete foundations that are at least six inches above grade. Garden beds shouldn't be built to cover brickwork. This may block weep holes or allow water to penetrate. The mortar is usually not as water resistant as brick and may need occasional repair if it shrinks or falls out.

Fired-clay brick is the most popular and durable cladding today for homes. Its varied colors resist fading, and a wide range of patterns and types are available.
