Richmond Va Siding - Brick Veneer

Brick Veneer Siding for Your Richmond Home

While masonry can add value to a home, it also comes with a rather large price tag. If you want the look of authentic brick without the significant costs, consider brick veneer. One of the biggest differences between traditional bricks and brick veneer is that it isn’t an actual structural element of your home. A true brick home is constructed block on block to hold up the construction of the home. However, brick veneer siding is just a single layer that is installed over the structure’s wooden framework. The actual installation involves the use of small metal ties and the faux “brickwork” is then secured to the home with these. This leaves a very small gap of air in between the new exterior façade and the original exterior wall.
There are several benefits offered by brick veneer. For example, it is both fireproof and durable. As a result, it may help you save on home insurance costs. You also don’t hve to stain, maintain, or paint your home’s exterior. Even better, it serves as a great source of insulation, protecting the interior of your home from extreme hot or cold, depending on the season and time of year.
