Cut,Copy and Paste!

This little bit of info puts it all in simple terms. Easy to understand even for someone who has never heard of bricks!



Reverse Brick Veneer

Reverse brick veneer, as the name suggests, puts the brickwork on the inside and timber framing on the outside i.e. the reverse of traditional construction. This form of construction enables a timber-style home to achieve the same level of thermal performance as a double-brick home.

By reversing the traditional construction type, the high thermal mass of brickwork can be used to advantage. Instead of being on the outside of the insulation and hence isolated from the room, the brick skin is within the insulation envelope.

Reverse brick veneer can be used in conjunction with either a concrete slab floor or a timber floor.
