Bricks offer thermal properties

Bricks have exceptional thermal mass properties meaning they have the ability to store heat and then slowly release it. These properties allow brick homes to moderate internal temperatures, meaning they stay cooler during summer's hottest parts of the day, radiating it back inside, during the cooler months. Ideally suited to Australia's sunny climate, bricks can be combined with insulation to provide the best heat-efficient building solution around. In short, building with bricks can certainly help keep the energy costs associated with heating and air conditioning down.
