Brick Veneer
Brick Veneer Slab on Ground
brick veneer   This is the most common method of construction in Australia, but is seldom used in the sand plain coastal regions of Western Australia. It utilises either steel or timber framing internally with a skin of face brick externally. Alternatively the outside layer of brick could be a utility brick that is rendered. It is a preferred method in wet or temperate conditions as the framing can be built and then have the roof in place before the outside brickwork is installed, speeding up construction. It is also easier to alter the home internally once constructed. The process eliminates wet wall issues in construction in temperate conditions. It is important to insulate the walls, as it does not have the same thermal qualities as double clay brick.
