Brick vs. brick veneer question
 
A brick building is built of brick. There walls are made of brick.
brick veneer is just siding that looks like brick. BIG differance. In
the US brick hasnt been used to build new buildings since the 60s so
if your home new new then its just fake bricks.

What? Are you suggesting that Z-brick is used on exterirors?

Brick veneers, whether thin brick or full-sized, are real clay brick.

BIG differance.


Yes, there's a difference. You can have the look of brick construction
without the costs and you can insulate. .

Not true.

Its no differant than siding, It has no structural value. Its just an
outer cover. No I didnt mean to suggest that its stamped metal to look
like brick but its just a siding materials out the outside, just like
any other siding materials.

Perhaps you are just mistaken & misinformed, or maybe your are an
