Richmond Va Siding - Brick

Brick Siding for Your Richmond Home

Today, brick houses aren’t what they appear to be. In fact, they are actually wood houses that have a decorative (yes, it’s decorative) brick siding that provides the same functions of vinyl siding or wood plant. While the bricks may appear to be structural and stout, they are not really supporting anything beyond their own weight. Solid masonry, which is real brick, used for houses started to fade out of style approximately 100 years ago. Today, the majority of brick homes are being sided with brick. What confuses things even more for many people is that there are several types of brick siding available; however, the classic option is made with real clay bricks and laid using mortar.
Sometimes, brick siding is also referred to as veneer brick or even brick veneer. This helps to distinguish it from solid brick construction. With this material, you get all the aesthetics of a brick home, but lower costs, easier installation, and more. This option is growing in popularity, especially as homeowners want a home built at a good price but with the looks of more expensive materials.
