Masonry work can consist of veneer masonry, which is mainly for aesthetic purposes (doesn’t hold up a structure) and solid masonry, which is not attached to anything else, but can be used as a main support structure for a building.

Masonry is the building of structures from individual units, often bound together by a workable paste that hardens, called mortar.

This work can consist of two forms: solid and veneer. Veneer is mainly for aesthetic purposes as it doesn’t hold up a structure. Solid can be used as a main support structure for a building. Let’s take a deeper look into both of those:  

Solid Masonry

Many historical homes are made of solid masonry: using several layers of brick with header bricks to hold them together. Benefits include:

  • Low maintenance
  • Longevity
  • Resilience
  • Supports a wide variety of roof structures

Veneer Masonry

Veneer masonry is a popular choice for home building or remodeling because it gives the appearance of a solid stone or brick wall. Benefits include:

  • Similar in appearance to natural brick
  • Lower cost
  • Great insulation
  • Very lightweight
