WWilts Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Is brick always much cheaper (materials & labour) than (reconstituted) stone? Front elevation definitely reconst. stone. Public side elevation option brick or stone. Rear and other side definitely brick. Traditional style build. Some in the family think brick for all but front elevation, others think stone looks more upmarket for public elevations. What would you choose and why?

PeterW Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Stone and render looks nice - brick and stone looks 1970’s stone cladding IMHO... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Don't use the concrete versions as they will fade in the sun. Buy the real stone cladding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWilts Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Just for context: Architect has done a few traditional style new builds (pic). He mentioned reconstituted stone for the front. Stone front + brick sides & rear used by many older houses in these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
