What are all the points to consider when we go for Brick veneer instead of Solid brick (mostly single and double is not common and expensive) ?
Why property agents are suggesting brick veneer over solid brick ? is it because of cost is less ?
What is better in terms of strength and long term benefits and insulation from Winter and Summer seasons ?

The second time around they drop 20% in value.

The structural strength will be in the wooden/steel frame of the house. I'm not sure about insulation, but I would assume a brick veneer is basically only on the facade of the house? no point having brick veneer in the back. So I would assume that has negligible insulation value as well.

The brick work has to support it own loads, which are considerable and portion of the wind loads. It may not support the roof loads those are generally carried by the wall frames. hth Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs 11 Jul 2019 58 Loyal Member Re: brick veneer vs solid brick construction 5Sep 18, 2019 9:26 pm  StructuralBIMGuy IsabellaBootsif it's brick veneer, then I believe the brick has no structural value.

It's not really standing on it's own, the ones that I've seen are either glued on or have some kind of railing system.

Yeah I was assuming the tile one since the OP mentioned it's not solid brick. If it was a proper brick you would be right about the structural value. Hi Fry, In reply to your message, Reverse brick veneer is becoming more common in Perth. The cost is actually more expensive than traditional double brick, I can go into… 1 1493 Building Standards; Getting It Right! Nope Completely depends on the locality and planning scheme.
