Does Brick or Vinyl withstand cold weather better?

Brick combined with styrofoam insulation and energy efficient PVC windows and doors provide best protection against winter.

I only need to light up the fireplace once a day after i installed the energy efficiency system.

And the average temperature is 73 fahrenheit

properly set and sealed brick will last longer- however - if it isn't set right or sealed it will erode in the canadian winters and springs.

Vinyl weathers much better.

You're welcome.
