Brick
Owning a brick home or building can result in lower fire insurance premiums, as well as higher resale values.
"Since we rehabilitate row houses and construct with brick, we have been pleased to work in partnership with brick providers and brick masons to complete beautiful and affordable homes for Habitat families," he said, referring to Sandtown, a neighborhood in Baltimore.
In addition to the warmth, durability and beauty brick provides, it is also fire-resistant. Brick will not ignite, burn or emit toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat. Both the Great Fire of London in 1666 and the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 compelled local leaders to adopt construction mandates requiring the use of masonry in high-density areas. These legacies are considered the forerunners of modern masonry ordinances. Added benefits today are that owning a brick home or building can result in lower fire insurance premiums, as well as higher resale values.
Moreover, brick provides excellent protection against extreme weather conditions. The Brick Industry Association (BIA) funded research at the Wind Science and Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech University.
