Q: How do you maintain brick cladding?

The best way to maintain brick cladding is by simply cleaning it with a soft cloth. You should clean the bricks every few months to remove dirt, debris, and other contaminants that can cause damage over time. If you have a more serious problem with your brick cladding—like if you have moss or algae growing on it—you may need to scrub it off with a pressure washer.

Q: Is brick cladding sustainable?

Brick cladding is a sustainable building material for many reasons. It's made from clay, which is a natural resource that can be reused when it's broken down and used to make new bricks. The bricks themselves are also durable and long-lasting, which means they will last for years without needing to be replaced or repaired.
