When brickwork is persistently wet, as in foundations, retaining walls, parapets and chimneys, suiphates in bricks and mortar may in time crystallise and expand and cause mortar and renderings to disintegrate.
To minimise this effect bricks with a low sulphate content should be used.

The most energy-efficient walls are a combination of insulation and weight (mass). Walls that are heavy and dense, as brick walls are, conduct heat slowly. This simple process, called thermal lag,
reduces peak cooling loads in summer and peak heating loads in winter. The result is a more comfortable home all year long that will produce significant savings on energy bills.

Maintenance costs. A Brick don't require maintenance. When building a home, you might save a few amount of money by using a substitute wall material. However, major exterior maintenance such as painting can cost as
much as several amount of money, depending upon home size.Brick may cost a little more initially, but the very first time that you paint, you might well spend more than the additional cost of the brick.
