Though solid-brick homes are certainly sturdy, they are also very expensive and labor-intensive. Therefore, to gain the finished appearance of a brick home without all the work, brick veneer siding was invented.

Brick veneer is, in fact, mostly cosmetic.

Builders specifically choose brick veneer for the following functional and stylistic qualities:

  • It is relatively easy to install, since there is only one layer of masonry.
  • It is generally more affordable.
  • It requires a relatively simple foundation and support system. Solid brick homes, by contrast, are very heavy, and require substantial footing and foundation systems.
  • The air cavity between the brick and the home helps to keep moisture out of the home and acts as an effective insulating space, especially if it is filled with insulation. Solid brick walls are poor insulators, and also may allow moisture to penetrate exterior walls and cause problems in the home. Note that the house wrap beneath veneer may leak during heavy rain, perhaps due to the holes that are placed in the wrap during installation. 
  • Like solid brick, veneer is durable and fireproof, it looks fancy, and it requires little maintenance and no paint or stain.

Siding is the first thing people see when they look at your home; it’s what gives your home “curb appeal.” Brick and stone veneer adds a sense of stability, timelessness, and richness which is why it’s such a popular choice for home building and remodeling; it can give your home the appeal it deserves.

Many of the brick and stone homes built within the last few decades are made with veneer siding; it offers a realistic look at affordable prices and less than half the real stone weight. Only experts are immediately able to tell the difference between a natural and a veneer stone or brick siding. It also provides better insulation.

When choosing your siding you’ll want to consider your climate and the amount of care you are willing to devote to its maintenance; brick and stone veneer siding require very little maintenance. You’ll also want to ensure the siding is appropriate for the architectural style.
