The use of material such as bricks and stones can increase the thermal mass of a building and can protect the building from fire.
Most types of masonry typically will not require painting and so can provide a structure with reduced life-cycle costs.
Masonry is non-combustible product.
Masonry walls are more resistant to projectiles, such as debris from hurricanes or tornadoes.
Masonry structures built in compression preferably with lime mortar can have a useful life of more than 500 years as compared to 30 to 100 for structures of steel or reinforced concrete.
