Now remodelers have a more cost-effective, long-lasting alternative to brick for home exteriors. Called Novabrik , this innovative, mortarless brick technology saves money on installation - 20 to 25 percent less than conventional masonry brick - and never needs painting, prevents mold and won't warp, dent or fade. Developed by Novabrik International Inc. this mortarless brick is warranted to last 50 years. Novabrik's high-strength concrete bricks overlap and interlock to create a strong, water-resistant brick veneer.
