Brick veneer is a construction technique that uses a thin layer of bricks as a decorative facing for walls. Unlike traditional brick walls, which are solid and load-bearing, brick veneer is typically attached to a wooden or metal frame. This method provides the aesthetic appeal of brick while reducing the overall weight and cost of the structure. The primary purpose of brick veneer is to enhance the appearance of buildings while offering some insulation benefits. It is commonly used in residential and commercial construction, allowing for various design options without the need for a full brick wall.
