REVERSE BRICK VENEER STUDY FROM RURAL BUILDING COMPANY

This is a thermally dynamic form of construction. It has the advantages of the aesthetics of a framed home and improved thermal efficiency over double brick. The mass of the brickwork moderates the internal temperature while the external lining provides the waterproofing to the home. Insulation between the external wall and the brickwork, and the ability of the lining not to store heat, ensures the internal brickwork does not have the external heat or cold transmitted internally. This allows the mass brickwork to better moderate internal temperatures without the impacts of the external weather conditions.

Why is Reverse Brick Veneer So Beneficial?

Reverse brick veneer construction is a preferred form of construction as the thermal mass is inside the building not outside. In traditional brick veneer, the bricks are on the outside and they contribute very little to heating and cooling efficiency.  When the bricks are on the inside combined with insulation, the heat and cold from the outdoors is not transmitted into the home as the bricks are protected from the external weather conditions.  This gives you the huge advantage of interior temperatures remaining much more stable.  The occupants of the home are also much more comfortable.

In winter, the bricks on the inside of the home can store the heat that is coming into the room (either from windows, or from heaters) and radiate it back into the room when it is needed. The insulation behind the bricks stops the precious heat from escaping. 

In summer, keeping the windows and doors closed means that heat doesn’t enter the home as easily, and the thermal mass acts to cool the interior.  At night, you simply open the windows to allow the cooler air to dissipate any heat in the brickwork.

If you are worried that reverse brick veneer means that have to live with brick interior walls, don’t be. Reverse brick veneer is very attractive and can be rendered or covered with plasterboard so you won’t even know that it is there if you don’t want to.

 Why BRICKS?

When it comes to walls, today’s natural clay brick is
unrivalled in performance, looks and long-term value.

 - STRONG AND SAFE
Bricks won’t twist or warp, rot or decay, erode or dent.

 - NATURAL AND CHARACTERISTIC
Made from clay and shale, no two bricks are identical giving each home its own
distinct personality.

- TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Brick homes even out temperature fluctuations because of their mass. Homes made
from brick are slow to warm up in summer and slow to loose heat in winter.

- ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
The density of brick makes for a quiet home, with reduced external sound such as
aircraft and road noise, compared to lighter weight materials.

- FIRE RESISTANCE
Boral bricks meet the requirements of all six categories of the Bushfire Hazard
building standard, AS 3959 - 2009, including the highest category BAL- FZ,
as all bricks are greater than 90mm thick.

- LOW MAINTENANCE
Bricks have negligible routine maintenance. This is an important factor to consider
-when looking at the “whole-of-life” cost of your home.
