Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 16, 2016 7:35 pm Hi I am building my first home with Dennis Home. I was told by some people that the concave surface bricks are better (than a smooth or rough surface), but they can't really give an explanation to why but it was something they were told. Can anyone explain if there is any truth to this and if yes, how is a concave brick better?
