The key is that you choose the right material according to the use you are going to give it and the climatic aspect of your area.
How about a rustic oval stone floor for the beach house bathroom? A ceramic roof for your house located in a rainy area?
You can go to the BBB site to know the qualities of the brick, if it is a prefabricated house you can check the manufacturer's manual to know the materials used and what you can buy to apply them.
The appearance of the material
When we are determined to buy a construction material that we liked a lot and we want to apply it to the facade or in some detail of the interior of the house, the most important thing is to know how it will be in the whole set, most people buy simply by impulse they liked it but when that material is applied where it belongs it is really bad.
The simplest solution is to see photos on the Internet (Google images is a repository of thousands of photos) of that construction finish, for example, Pepelma stone (its color and shape) applied in its entirety in a house.
Material maintenance
Many people choose to apply stone and wood on their facades to give an example, this combination is great (decoratively speaking), but we have to take into account that these materials need maintenance, we have for example that the stone being rustic finish is usually embed elements such as land and city tux, so if you do not give proper periodic maintenance the house will look old and opaque soon.
Material efficiency
Although materials such as wood are now usually placed even on bathroom floors where water and humidity abound or even on house facades where there is a rainy climate, it is best to choose a construction material that fulfills the function for which it was placed, without neglecting the decorative appearance
