November 22, 20205 yr 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?
November 22, 20205 yr Stone and render looks nice - brick and stone looks 1970’s stone cladding IMHO...
November 22, 20205 yr Don't use the concrete versions as they will fade in the sun. Buy the real stone cladding.
November 23, 20205 yr Author 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.
