Why is it less expensive than solid brick siding?

Because brick veneer does not have to have as much labor put into it. The price of a small repair job on a new home can add up over the course of many years. The average home owner cannot afford to have brick veneer siding installed on their home for that amount of money. Therefore, it makes sense to have it installed by someone who has the experience and skill to do the job right.

There are several different types of these, including expanded metal, individual veneer bricks, pre-made brick panels and pre-made fiber board panels. All require some degree of skill to install and they have their advantages and disadvantages. The advantage to having individual veneer bricks is that they can be placed where you want. It would be up to the individual themselves to decide where they wanted to place them. They do provide some protection from weather damage and other natural elements, like pests and rot.

The disadvantages of having these, including solid-brick, is that it can be more difficult to repair damage to these structures. It takes some time to build up the bond between the individual layers of brick veneer siding. This is because building up the bond to these structures requires the additional bonding of certain cemented materials to make it stronger. Many times brick veneer siding will require a couple of decades before it becomes fully repairable, especially if there is some serious weather damage to the structure.

It is important to note that this type of service will cost the customer depending on the number of square feet that are being covered. For example, a one hundred thousand square foot addition to a home will cost about two thousand dollars in labor. An individual with experience will be able to seek out contractors who will be able to do the job for less, but it will all depend on the contractor as to how much they charge per square foot. The price will also vary depending on the contractor. Some of the companies that provide brick veneer siding may be more expensive than others, which can be a factor when looking to have this type of work done.

There is some debate over the fact that brick veneer siding is actually more durable than traditional masonry. It has been theorized that because of the lower density of the solid-brick material, it is more durable than other types of masonry. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this claim. What is known is that solid-brick is far more fire resistant than other types of masonry and is very durable when exposed to extreme temperatures. Other types of masonry can crack or break under these conditions, but not solid-brick.

Another advantage to brick veneer siding is that it can add a unique look to a home. Since the exterior of brick homes are often plain, adding the look of brick veneer siding can make a home look more interesting and artistic. This style of siding can also be customized easily, allowing homeowners to add details that will accentuate their homes. As well, it adds extra protection to a home from weather and fire.

There are also some disadvantages to using brick veneer siding. One of these is that this type of siding is known to be more susceptible to moisture. If there is too much moisture in the air, the siding may not be able to sustain itself and will begin to weaken. In the same way that mortar will not last forever if there is too much moisture in the air, if the moisture is not controlled, the siding will begin to weaken and eventually fall apart.

Although there are disadvantages to brick veneer siding, this form of wood siding is still one of the most popular on the market. Homeowners love the look that it provides and also enjoy the additional protection. The best way to ensure that your home is properly protected is to install brick sealant along the perimeter of the exterior walls. Sealant is important because it will prevent moisture from getting underneath the bricks and wood boards that make up the siding.
