Thin brick overlays existing walls for a solid brick look. Available in many colors and styles. Pros: classic appearance, durable, low maintenance, adds value. Cons: higher cost, requires skilled installation.

Natural Stone Veneer

Thin-cut real stone veneer—granite, limestone, sandstone, slate, or fieldstone. Pros: authentic, unique, durable, premium look. Cons: expensive, heavy, needs strong substrate.

Manufactured Stone Veneer

Lightweight concrete mimics natural stone at lower cost and weight. Pros: affordable, lighter, consistent sizes, variety. Cons: less authentic, may not age as naturally.
