Q: What kind of drill bit do I need for brick?

• <div><p>Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don&rsquo;t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they&rsquo;re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a brick home?

• <div><p>Whether you&rsquo;re installing brick siding over a traditionally-framed home or you&rsquo;re using genuine brick construction to build, the biggest downside of a brick house is the higher cost you&rsquo;ll pay for the materials and labor. Real brick construction also means <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-it-takes-to-build-custom-home.htm">your home build will take</a> longer, as it&rsquo;s more time-consuming to construct brick walls than it is to frame out your home.</p></div>

Q: Can you drill into brick with a regular drill?

• <div><p>You may not need a hammer drill if you&rsquo;re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of brick or stone walls?

• <div><p>These walls are durable, low-maintenance, and add aesthetic appeal and property value.</p></div>
