If your building brick veneer you will need to use better quality and more expensive face bricks as so they look good once completed. If you are intending to either bag or render your house you can use cheaper common bricks as obviously they will be covered up. Face brick gives a nice classic finish to a house if that is what you desire, Rendering is a more modern approach however it can be expensive especially if your house is 2 story as you will require scaffolding and then the render will need to be painted. Render often cracks too so in a few years you may find it needs to be re done in some areas. Bagging is a cheaper alternative to rendering but gives a more messy finish however it can be completed quicker and there generally aren’t as many complications further down the track as it tends not to crack like render. I hope this gives you some more information to base your decision off. |
