How To Use Pavers in the Interior of Your Home
How To Use Pavers in the Interior of Your Home 1440 754 South Alabama Brick

Despite typically being incorporated into the exterior design of homes, no rule says pavers can’t be used inside your home. Offering durability, versatility and customization, discover how to use pavers in the interior of your home now.

Entryways

Built to withstand high-traffic areas, pavers are more resistant to normal wear and tear than other flooring options. Using pavers in your entryway offers a weather-resistant and aesthetically pleasing way to enhance the longevity of the floor in a well-traveled area, as well as a seamless transition between your outdoor and indoor spaces.

Plus, pavers are easy to clean and maintain. Typically, sweeping often and washing occasionally with warm water and a mild degreasing detergent is all that is needed. Remember to avoid acid-based cleaners as they could damage the seal.

Living rooms 

Living rooms are often entertainment hubs or comfortable gathering spaces in the home. Elevate your living room’s ambiance with customizable designs and patterns created with pavers, whether pavers are used on an accent wall or around a fireplace.

Kitchens 

How to use pavers in the interior of your home doesn’t stop there! Indoor pavers are commonly used in kitchen designs for enhanced durability, low maintenance and as an added visually pleasing element.

Crafted from brick or stone, pavers resist staining and can be easily cleaned. Additionally, pavers are heat-resistant, making them suitable for use near hot surfaces such as stoves, ovens and other heat sources.

Bathrooms

Just as the water resistance benefits you in the entryway and kitchen, pavers are great for upgrading your bathroom spaces! From floors to shower walls, pavers can offer a custom look while maintaining a slip-resistant option. Talk to your professional about how to properly seal and clean this area.

Summary

With these ideas in mind, consider using pavers in the interior of your home. Connect with South Alabama Brick to discover the paver style for you and start designing your dream home.

6 Ways Brick Adds Value to Your Home
6 Ways Brick Adds Value to Your Home 1440 754 South Alabama Brick

When designing your home and creating your next project, every detail matters—including material. A durable and versatile option? Brick. With aesthetic and financial benefits, there are many ways brick adds value to your home.

Low maintenance costs.

One of the benefits is its financial advantages, including low maintenance costs. Without the need for paint repairs or replacement due to warping or fading, brick is more resistant to everyday wear and tear.

Requiring minimal upkeep, like occasionally washing and inspecting the brickwork, the durability and longevity of brick save homeowners time and money.

Increased property value.

The enhanced curb appeal, functionality and durability provided by bricks contribute to the overall desirability of your property. Brick homes are often valued higher than homes built with other materials.

Homes with brick exteriors, in many cases, tend to sell faster and buyers are typically willing to pay a premium for their design.

Flexibility and design options.

Another one of the ways brick adds value to your home is the versatility in design. Allowing for unique creations and offering various sizes, shapes, colors and patterns—you can customize your architecture how you like. 

Long-term cost savings.

While brick may come with a higher investment initially, it proves to be more cost-effective in the long run. Being resistant to cracks and fading and reducing the need for frequent repairs, you can enjoy the benefits of brick for years without continuously paying for them.

Energy saving.

Brick’s natural mass can help to regulate indoor temperatures. Keeping homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, this insulating material can lead to lower energy bills.

Lower insurance premiums.

Because of its durability and resistance to weather and fire, insurance companies recognize brick and offer potential savings on insurance premiums. Brick can withstand high winds and is non-combustible, making it a safer choice, often translating to lower premiums.

Summary

Have all of these ways brick adds value to your home convinced you to choose it for your next construction project? Then contact South Alabama Brick for all your brick needs and talk to our professionals about what collection and design is right for you.

Elegant Stone Interiors

“Don’t judge us by our rough exterior – we are beautiful on the inside too” – Alamo Stone Company

Stone is an excellent & widely popular choice for exterior cladding & flooring. The natural durability, color consistency & uniqueness allows for endless design options. For all of these reasons & more, bringing stone INSIDE is a growing trend.

With the advancements in technology, most natural stone can be cut into any shape, thickness, size & pattern with a variety of finishes and edges, making natural stone a perfect option for flooring, counter tops, fireplace surrounds, range hoods, stair treads, sinks, and of course, wall cladding.

As the interest & demand for outdoor living increases, many homeowners desire a natural flow from the home’s interior to exterior spaces. Natural stone allows the same product/stone/color to be used in multiple applications. Maintain the same color, but change the finish or pattern. For example – your interior flooring could be a small hexagon version of your larger, rectangular exterior pavers.  Incorporate the same stone, with a honed finish on a counter top or sink and you seamlessly created a unified design concept throughout your home.

Design an environment beyond your imagination with the elegant beauty & endless options of natural stone.

Thin Brick -Henry Brick Cypress Point

Thin Brick -Henry Brick Cypress Point

The growing popularity of farmhouse design is shedding new light on thin brick. Made from real clay brick that has been cut thin, thin brick is easily incorporated into any space. Because it is so lightweight, there is no concern about load bearing walls or reinforced sub-floors.

Designers love the personality & flexibility that thin brick provides. One of the main advantages of thin brick is its versatility. Thin brick allows you to use the same brick in both a full or thin capacity, but always with the appearance of a full brick. For example, while an indoor fireplace can feature full or thin brick, a back splash most definitely requires a thin brick, in place of a ceramic or porcelain tile. Some homeowners wish to match exterior brick with interior features, but don’t want a full brick inside. As thin brick is cut from a full brick, matching the two is effortlessly impeccable.

As you can see, thin brick isn’t just for fireplace surrounds. The applications are endless – from back splashes, accent walls, tub surrounds, base of an island or bar, or even as an accent in the back of shelving. Where do you want a thin brick accent?
