Making a wall masonry outside or inside is not a novelty in the construction industry. However, for each case there are specific features that will necessarily affect the composition of the material and its characteristics. The choice largely depends not so much on taste preferences as on the tasks assigned. But this did not affect the breadth of choice in terms of design.
Facing bricks for interior decoration
The wall, decorated with plaster or expensive wallpaper, is often found and becomes only a backdrop for furniture and textile accents. Brick masonry will be a decorative accent, it attracts the eye and acts as a highlight of the interior. Practice shows that the reception with facing brick looks good in almost all existing directions of design. Narrowly rough, as if laid out during the construction, the wall will perfectly complement the loft . In this style, neatness and clarity of lines is superfluous, it is important to maintain realism.
Country , it is sometimes called folkloric style, the identity of the masonry will also adorn. Rudeness and slight negligence in this style are superfluous, but warm natural shades are welcome. It will be appropriate to look the finish of the fireplace from the stove facing brick, some details of the wall. Country suggests a combination of stone or brick with wood, natural fabrics, simple lines and shapes. Relevant will be facing brick in the issue of window decoration.
Facade facing brick
The very concept of "facade" somewhat changes our perception of what the manufacturer generally means. The fact is that the facial version of the brick received some significant features. Each element has the maximum sharpness and accuracy of any angle and edge, on the surface there are practically no cracks and any other defects.
In the building store there are four types of facing brick for the facade. Each variant from the list below differs in the way of production, characteristics. All this affects the price of the product, as well as recommendations for operation.
- The first in the list is a budget solution - silicate brick. It has a modest aesthetic and operational characteristics, which outlined the scope of its use of summer cottages. It is made of ordinary quartz sand with additives.
- In search of a more reliable facing brick, it is worth paying attention to the outer ceramic. For production use clay and firing. Pottery is good because it keeps its appearance for a long time and keeps the heat in the house. Additives and coloring agents corrected the situation with a scanty color range.
- In contrast to the bright warm ceramic facing brick, the hyperpressed looks like a chip on the stone. Its characteristic texture turned out to be a highlight. For production use not temperature, and pressure. The only drawback of the hyper-pressed method is the need for an additional heat-insulating layer before laying.
- From clay one more kind of facing brick is made - clinker. But the clay itself is only of a certain grade, and before baking, additional bricks are dried.
A pleasant surprise will be the appearance of your house from facing bricks - the design of its facade will be far from boring and monotonous. In the building department, the last three types are represented in classical rectangular form, yet there are trapezoidal and rounded elements in it.
Decorative facing brick
When the task is to select a decorative finish, it is important to know the conditions in the room where the chosen decor will be used. As for our topic itself, the finishing with facing brick is no different, and its choice depends on the task. Decorative orientation does not strictly regulate the performance characteristics, but the time with the design is on the first place.
The facing brick for the interior is presented in several variants, the following have gained popularity:
- clinker for interior finishing is used wherever there are constant temperature changes and there may be high humidity;
- in places with a minimum of patency and minor impurities, the finish from a mixture of gypsum and cement is quite good;
- relatively recently it became possible to use the finishing of granite, it has countless advantages, and the price fully corresponds to them;
- with a minimum weight and a huge variety of design, for gypsum board partitions and similar structures, a facing brick made of acrylic is suitable.
Brick, cladding, red
Saturated shades of red have found their application in outdoor decoration, but the interior has occupied its niche. Before decorating the facade of the house we recall the main rule: facing brick from different parties of the same manufacturer can differ in color. Sometimes this is a barely noticeable difference, sometimes quite palpable. Builders solved the problem by mixing elements from different lots.
Brick, yellow, cladding
The shades of yellow are quite successfully applied for interior decoration, but on the facade of the house they look harmonious. The color itself is quite active, but it does not prevent the designers from additionally using the glaze effect or similar decorative qualities. The palette of yellow facing brick for walls, from a calm yellow-gray to a saturated sun, allows to realize the bold ideas of designers.
White facing brick
The shades of white are achieved by manufacturing in two ways: either it is given by components, or it is obtained after the final treatment and drying. Anyway, and the use of facing inner brick is always a good solution, since all its shades become an excellent background and are appropriate in almost any interior.
In the issue of finishing it is both important and difficult to sustain a balance when the type of masonry and the design of the brick itself do not compete with each other. Important are even such trifles as the width of the seam and its shape. The brighter the shades and the more complex the texture of the surface, the simpler the layout of the masonry.
