Hello everyone,
Does anyone have experience with facing bricks or veneer panels inside living spaces? I am considering different wall design options and came across these materials, as I would like to give my living room wall a natural stone look. How is the risk of mold growth with this?
Also, I would like to attach cabinet units to this wall later on. Would that be a disadvantage?

Alternatively, you can attach a wooden batten at the height and spacing of a few bricks that are left out for this purpose, and then screw the cabinet onto the batten. If you want to move the cabinet later, you can unscrew the batten and fill the gap precisely with the bricks you have set aside for this purpose. In this case, the cabinet will hang perfectly level, as long as the batten is thicker than the bricks.

As far as I know, concrete is not a suitable breeding ground for mold, and a wall with facing bricks is far from smooth. I think if you place a cabinet in front of it, there will still be enough air circulation given the circumstances.
