brick veneer
Thin masonry facing
Brick veneer is a construction method where a single layer of bricks covers the exterior of a building framed in wood or steel, giving the appearance of solid brick construction without the structural weight or cost.
Unlike solid masonry walls, the bricks serve only as a decorative and weather-resistant facing, not as load-bearing structure.
The house looks like solid brick but it's actually brick veneer over wood framing.
