That was cool to know. I grew up in a brick house in Queens, NY. It was built in 1939 and had plaster walls. It was solid, and when it was sold 10 years ago, it was knocked completely down and a veneer monstrosity built in its place. Was so sad to see craftsmanship from the ‘30s torn down like it was nothing. Thanks for the education on brick vs veneer.

As a 20 year old its real brick over veneers anyday and I don't care how much more modern your new build is. When a tornado or hurricane hits you're screwed. I'd rather deal with the costs of an older home than to buy a new build. If I ever did want a new build I'd pay for the extra 50k in masonry work for sure.

Actually, the Marble is just a facade, it isnt supporting anything but itself. There is a steel angle iorn above the window and door openings that actually support the brickwork above. As for the brick tie you refer to on solid brick walls, or walls with a brick face and a concrete block backing, that is known as a header coarse. Beware now, because it would be possible to duplicate that look even on a brick veneer home. As for the section of your video showing the thin brick being applied over a base of some type, that isnt truly considered as being brick veneer. But you have my permission to call it anything you like.

I ran into a book on home construction that was published in the early 1920s and it emphasized that a brick veneer building was, at that time, no cheaper to build than a solid brick building. This was when most bricks were locally sourced and fairly cheap while wood came in planks, so the labor involved was not that different and the material costs depended on the area. The main reason people used brick veneer then was to keep the insides of the building dry, add more insulation or to make the building less vulnerable to earthquakes. These days, any frame construction involves more automation and prefabrication than it did then, and bricks are more likely to be shipped from other areas, so I'd expect brick veneer to be cheaper. But the other advantages still remain and building codes require a frame building to survive the same wind load as a masonry one. Of course, the more brick is used in place of wood, the less there is to burn, but there are many ways, from fire blocking to sprinklers, to make a wood-frame building more fire resistant. And, if the builder knows what he or she is doing, it will be very hard to tell if the house is solid brick or veneer. I had always assumed that the townhouse in which I lived as a small child was "made of brick", but if you look the address up on Redfin, you can see the rim joists that are visible in the basement. Some people assume that the complex in which I now live is brick veneer over wood (the condo docs are even written on that assumption), but if I look in my basement, I can see the bricks stacked up between the ends of the floor joists. The lintels over my windows are hidden angle iron, so it looks as if the bricks above them are floating in mid air. As long as the building performs well, it doesn't matter that much how it was constructed.

My 1958 condo has all-masonry exterior walls, but even they aren't "real brick". They are really cinder block with brick veneer and the only walls that are framed in wood are the upstairs bump-outs. It would be illegal to build it that way today in the Boston area, without adding a lot of rebar, due to the state's seismic codes.

Most homes in the UK are brick. All the new builds going up are wood with brick slips (veneer) and they are charging in my area £300,000 minimum for them. I would not want a new build, real brick all the way.
@pcno28322 ай бұрын
I don't mind brick slips (called thin brick, or "lick & stick" in the USA) in theory, especially if the framing is reinforced and the space freed-up is used for more insulation. But builders have a way of making such structures look silly, from windows that are proud of the surface of the wall to "brick" sections that stick out in mid-air. Brick slips should either look like tiles or be convincingly disguised as 3 dimensional bricks, not a little of each.

Casey, a Flemish bond is not always true. Homes today and many back as far as the 40s the Flemish bond is used to replicate a solid brick home. A more positive way is to see a header course about every 6 courses or every 2 foot which ties inside and outside double masonry walls together we recently did a home with 2x8 framed walls and a brick Flemish bond veneer the 2x8 walls were use to replicate wall thickness today a lot of homes are Masonry veneer to give the appearance of a solid masonry homes. Many homes back in the 40s ,50s,60, used brick veneer with 4" block inside walls tied together with header course about every two foot solid masonry homes usually follows the age of the home and pre world war 2. to replicate a Flemish bond veneer today is very labor intensive and expensive especially with custom brick shapes such as window sill brick , step brick, jack arches, and water table detail brick.Most homes today have what we call lick em and stick em fake stone veneers

Hi Casey, now be nice to me. Another benefit to a stick framed home with a brick veneer ( like the second detail in your video) is that it might not fall down in an earthquake. I know, I know you don't get many earthquakes in North Carolina. I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure that " true brick" also known as unreinforced masonry construction has not been allowed in building codes for a long time. 1933 for California. No I don't live in California. Love you Casey!

The 1970s drama "Room 222", about the tribulations surrounding a homeroom teacher, was set in a famous LA high school which was destroyed in the February, 1971 earthquake, during the first season the show aired. They continued modeling the set for the show on that building for another 2 or 3 years, and kept using the footage of the building from before it was destroyed. It was built in 1933 and was said to be the last un-reinforced masonry building built in LA before such construction was banned.

@pcno28322 ай бұрын
Wood framing is definitely safer in earthquakes. Framed structures are now required to survive the same wind loads as brick ones (hence the "hurricane straps" and joist hangers now required), but solid brick still usually has the edge against flying debris.
