Brick generally exhibits better thermal insulation property than other building materials like concrete. Perforation can improve the thermal insulation property of bricks to some extent. Besides, the Thermal Mass and moisture that the brick has absorbed can help to keep the temperature inside the house relatively constant. In orther words, brick absorbs and releases heat slowly and thus keep the house cool during day-time and warm during night-time.

Masonry contributes to energy efficiency in buildings. The thermal mass of masonry materials helps regulate indoor temperatures, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems. This inherent insulation property aids in minimising energy consumption, leading to reduced greenhouse gas emissions associated with HVAC systems. Besides having the advantage of mass, today’s concrete home building systems all utilise cost effective, highly efficient insulation to keep your home comfortable year round while enjoying the benefits of lower utility bills.

When you build a home, you might save a few hundred dollars by using wood-frame. However, major exterior maintenance such as painting can cost as much as several thousand dollars, depending on your home size. Clay brick may cost a little bit more cost initially, but the very first time that you paint, you might well spend more than the additional cost of the brick. In addition, you do not need to worry the clay brick from rotting, denting, warping, rusting, splitting, peeling, fading, and termites. As your home gets older, it naturally becomes more beautiful.
