What is brick veneer and how is it attached to the house?
Brick veneer is a non-structural type of masonry construction in which brick is an exterior covering on a home or building. It has the appearance of a solid brick wall without the weight or expense. The brick is attached to the house with metal straps, or wall ties, at regular intervals. The brick work on Perry Homes shows a great deal of care and craftsmanship that you won’t find with most builders. Notice the consistent 1/2-inch spacing between the mortar joints. On the front elevations of the home, look at an inside corner and notice how the mortar joints run straight up the home. The quality of the material is evident in the brick itself. Perry Homes uses a variety of materials for masonry exteriors. These include clay or concrete brick and stone for architectural appeal.
