Brick’s Comeback: Homebuyers Demand Brick for Aesthetic, Durability, and Quality

Why Brick?

According to Home Innovation, the beauty of brick is the driving force behind its surging popularity. Brick offers more than a pretty face, though. Strong and durable, brick exteriors will not dent or break like vinyl or aluminum can. Brick homes are fire-resistant and often carry lower homeowner’s insurance premiums.

The cost of alternatives to brick have recently increased, making brick a more cost-efficient material. Adding to their appeal, brick exteriors translate into an approximate 6% increase in a home’s property value.

Other brick exterior benefits include:

• Insulation – brick helps insulate a home and results in more consistent temperatures.
• Moisture control – brick naturally absorbs and releases moisture without damage.
• Environmentally conscious – clay brick is one of the most abundant building materials worldwide.
