According to Industry Experts Ambrico, Brick Veneer Worth the Investment

WARREN, MI, March 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) American Brick Company (Ambrico) recently discussed the benefits of brick veneer and thin brick products from its showroom in Warren, Michigan. Experts agree that while brick veneer cost may initially be higher at installation then vinyl siding, it has numerous benefits that make the cost well-worth the initial investment.

As reported by Ambrico, when installed correctly, thin brick cost is minimal when you take into account the durable, virtually maintenance free materials that thin brick products are made out of. Unlike other products that will crack and become discolored over time, brick veneer cost includes a lifetime of use and bright, rich colors that will never fade.

Ambrico recommends that contractors, builders and homeowners carefully weigh their options before selecting a type of siding installation.
