Facing with bricks

Brick is the most durable and reliable building material. From it, not only new houses are being built, but many-year-old buildings are also revetted.

Decorative facing of walls with a brick assumes the implementation of certain rules, for example - alternating bunch and spoon rows. Lay bricks when facing the outside walls can not only be horizontal, but also vertically, as well as at a certain angle.

If the masonry is shaped, curly bricks with round and oblique angles, all kinds of decorative chips are used. I must say that the relief patterns of brick look very impressive. Usually they are distinguished by windows and doors, cornices and pilasters.

The rules for facing the facade with decorative bricks

Always in the upper and lower parts of the masonry it is necessary to leave ventilation gaps through which moisture will escape. This is necessary so that the load-bearing walls do not suffer from the vapor formed between the walls.

Also, an effective method of controlling moisture is to leave each 5-th vertical seam in 2 horizontal rows without a solution.

If you apply not one type of brick, but several, for each preliminary make a test "dry" row.

Perform all the work on brick laying possible only at a positive air temperature. Otherwise, even the most thorough and diligent work will not bring the desired aesthetic effect.

For greater reliability, the brick lining is fastened to the steel corners, screwing them with anchor bolts to the foundation. And to increase the reliability of the wall from the facing brick, it is necessary to connect it with the carrier through 13 rows by cutting roofing iron.

When all brick lining works are completed, you can wipe the facade with a 10% solution of chlorine acid to remove all frozen solution sprays. However, it is possible to apply such a composition only after the walls dry completely.
