Frequently our customers ask us

What are the benefits of using brick as opposed to other siding materials?

• Brick is the naturally choice...
• Brick is made from natural materials free of volatile organic compounds, which result in better health, comfort, and well-being for your family or your customers.
• Brick is a good insulator; it is slow to lose or absorb heat, which reduces the load on your heating and cooling system, your wallet, and the environment.
• Brick is a recyclable material. Reclaimed brick can be used from demolished buildings to rebuild new buildings. Check out our Vintage Brick.
• Brick's raw materials can include the addition of materials like sawdust, which burns in the firing process, lowers weight and reduces the use of fossil fuels.
• Brick can include a large variety of materials in the manufacturing process, such as pre-consumer recycled content and recycled content from other industries.
• Brick can save you money on home maintenance because brick never needs painting or cleaning, never rots, fades, peels, or dents, and most people agree it looks better with age.
• Brick is so durable that most brick manufacturers offer a warranty for 100 years! Brick can withstand rain, hail, ice, snow, high winds, you name it.
• Because brick is a fireproof building material, many insurance companies offer reduced rates/premiums for homes or buildings made of brick. Your agent can compute your potential savings with brick.
• On average, brick homes have at least a 6% higher resale value than comparable homes built of other siding materials.
