Choosing Brick or Stone for Your Home

CHOOSING BRICKOR STONE

FOR YOUR HOME

IF YOU ARE HAVING A NEW HOME DESIGNED,IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAKE THE

RIGHT DECISION WITH STONE AND BRICK.

Natural stone has a unique beauty in bothits shape and many color variations.

Unlike brick, natural stones replicate what isfound in nature, with a number of shades that

vary from light tans to dark grey colors.

It takes more work to install natural stonethan brick, simply because each stone

is a different shape.

The uniformity of brick makes it much easier,and therefore cheaper, to install.

If you want to save as much money as possibleon the new house you are going to have built,

brick is a better choice becauseit is so much cheaper than stone.

If you are planning to have your house builtwith a combination of brick and stone,it is important that you match the colorof both materials as closely as possible.

Take the time to find a specific type of stone thatgoes well with the overall style of your home.

If the brick part of your house clasheswith the stone, you can always paint the brick

to eliminate the unsightly contrast.
