Brick and Siding Combinations for Regina Buildings: How to Create a Long Lasting Saskatchewan Exterior
August 22nd, 2026
Brick and siding combinations are becoming a popular choice for Regina exteriors, particularly for homeowners and builders who want the durability and character of masonry without covering the entire building in brick.
At Cornerstone Masonry & Exteriors, we install brick, stone veneer, James Hardie fibre cement siding, vinyl siding, and other exterior cladding systems for residential properties throughout Regina and Saskatchewan.
A mixed-material exterior can be especially appropriate in Saskatchewan, where exterior materials need to withstand significant seasonal temperature changes, wind, snow, and moisture.
Why Combine Brick and Siding?
Using two exterior materials gives a home more visual depth than using one material across every wall.
Brick can be used to emphasize architectural features while siding covers larger wall areas. This can create a high-end appearance without requiring the entire exterior to be masonry.
Common combinations include:
- Brick around the front entrance with siding on the upper walls
- Brick on the lower portion of the exterior with siding above
- Brick garage surrounds with siding across the main house
- Brick columns and entry features
- Stone or brick accents combined with board-and-batten siding
- Brick paired with James Hardie fibre cement siding
The right combination depends on the home’s architecture, roofline, windows, and overall design.
Choosing the Right Siding to Pair with Brick
The siding doesn’t need to match the brick exactly. In many cases, contrast is what makes the combination work.
Depending on the design, homeowners may consider:
James Hardie fibre cement siding for a premium, durable finish with a wide range of architectural styles.
Vinyl siding for a practical, low-maintenance exterior solution available in numerous colours and profiles.
Board-and-batten siding for a more contemporary or farmhouse-inspired appearance.
LP SmartSide for homeowners looking for an engineered wood appearance combined with modern performance characteristics.
The goal is to create contrast without making the exterior look visually disconnected.
