Considerations

When choosing types of bricks, consider factors like the intended function of the brick, its strength and durability, color, texture, size, fire resistance, water resistance, aesthetic appeal, and whether it suits the local climate and building requirements; essentially, selecting the brick that best matches the project's needs in terms of both appearance and structural integrity.

Brick Vaneers

Brick veneers are used to add a classic, aesthetically pleasing look to a home's exterior or interior while prioritizing a lighter weight option compared to solid brick, making it suitable for existing walls that may not support heavier masonry. It is also a versatile material that can be applied to various surfaces like wood, concrete, or masonry, both inside and outside the home; particularly for accent walls, fireplaces, hallways, kitchens, or bathrooms where a durable, low-maintenance finish is desired.

Cavity Walls

Cavity walls help prevent moisture from entering the building by creating a gap between the inner and outer walls. They can be better suited for colder climates because they can be filled with insulation to reduce heat loss. The air in the cavity can help absorb sound, making the building quieter. Insulation can be installed between the inner and outer walls to improve thermal insulation.

Engineered Brick Masonry

Engineered brick masonry is used in construction projects where strength and durability are important, such as for foundations, retaining walls, and load-bearing walls. Engineering bricks provide strong support for upper floors and roofing systems in both residential and commercial buildings. Moisture resistant engineering bricks are crucial for below-grade foundation walls and basement construction.
