Why choose brick? Clay brick provides the best protection from storms and fire.
It takes over 1.5 hours for fire to penetrate clay brick, whereas other building materials like vinyl and stucco won't last 30 minutes. When it comes to tornados and severe weather causing flying debris, you can count on clay brick to protect your home. The cost of a four-sided brick home in Louisville, KY is 17.2% cheaper than stone, 2.4% cheaper than stucco, and 3% cheaper than wood siding.
