brick exterior

Clay block cladding

A brick exterior is the outer surface of a building made from or faced with bricks.

The term appears in real estate listings and architectural descriptions: The house features a classic brick exterior.

Brick exteriors are valued for durability, low maintenance, and traditional appearance, though they may be solid brick construction or brick veneer over other materials.
