The main advantages of facing bricks

The main advantage of facing bricks is protection against atmospheric precipitation. However, there are many other important features of this cladding. First and foremost, it gives some kind of monumentality to a dwelling, especially if it is a brick facing of a wooden house facade. If the house is not in the best condition, then this kind of cladding is really appropriate.

It is important to understand that facing the facade of a house with a brick does not increase the heat supply of the home. To achieve this effect, a ventilated gap must exist between the supporting wall and the lining material. It is this space that removes unnecessary condensation and promotes air circulation. This type of cladding can significantly increase the thermal inertia of the building.

It is necessary to look closely at the acquisition of high-quality brick. Such material does not require constant maintenance, and will not start to crack after a year or two. It is best to give preference to well-known construction firms. The appearance of the material can also be an important factor in determining the quality of the brick. Bright colors and incomprehensible patterns of the material may indicate not the highest reliability.

Types of facing bricks

A couple of decades ago it was difficult to find any variety of this material. Now, because of the previously unseen assortment, it is very difficult to make a choice. Without the help of a consultant, there is practically no way.

First of all, you should know that the bricks are divided into hollow and full bricks. It is the first option will be excellent if you want to do heat insulation of your home. The advantages of solid brick finish at its high strength.

Facial brick is divided into several categories, from which it should be based on those who plan to clothe their homes:

  • clinker;
  • glazed;
  • ceramic;
  • is hyperpressed.

Clinker bricks will be more appreciated by those who appreciate in this material a special durability and wear resistance. This material is most suitable for technical rooms and workshops. The appearance of the material is also very good.

On glazed brick during the production, a special layer of glaze is applied. This creates not only a variety of appearance of the cladding, but also a certain volume. Very often designers use such material to create an original interior design.

Ceramic brick has a unique appearance. It is actively used for facing various types of buildings. As a result, we get a really solid structure with a variety of graphic features, among which there may be patterns and whole images.

Hyperpressed brick is an original material that has been actively used only for the last ten years. It is manufactured in an unusual way - without the use of annealing. The composition of this material includes only cement and limestone. This brick looks very impressive, and its properties will definitely satisfy even the biggest skeptics. Strength here is an order of magnitude higher than that of classic bricks, but at this price, facing the facade of the house with a brick is clearly not on the side of hyper-pressed material.

Preparation for lining

In the facade of the house, there is nothing difficult with a brick, but it would be ideal if at the first actions you were helped by a person who has at least the slightest experience. It is also important to know that one is better not to deal with such matters. There must always be a person who will help one way or another. Ideally, when the work involved three or four people, and each is engaged in their own business.

In the process of facing the facade of a house under a brick it is important to understand that this process is more complicated than classical brickwork. In addition to the usual activities will also have to pay attention to the aesthetic component. This factor should be decisive, because the beauty of the home is really a serious thing and any inaccuracies in the masonry can lead to regular trouble. In the photo, the facade of the house is covered with a brick from all sides.

Prior to basic operations, pre-laying must be carried out. To do this, you just need to lay a brick, but without mortar. In this way, you can find out exactly where you need to trim the brick, and where to remove it altogether. Ideally, when laying does not need to cut material, then after all the work the structure will definitely look perfect. Also, during the preliminary laying, it will be possible to detect defective bricks. Definitely it is worth replacing it with normal material as soon as possible, so that later you do not have to deal separately with the laying of two or three bricks.

Basic working tools

During the laying, a lot of tools are needed, each of which may be needed at any second:

  • bowls, basins and buckets( these capacities are necessary for filling the mortar, which is used to fasten the masonry);
  • concrete mixer( this unit is designed for the preparation of a solution in large quantities);
  • trowels( this tool is necessary for applying mortar to the masonry, it is also suitable for editing many operations);
  • construction goats( these devices will be necessary if you need to impose a high structure);
  • measures, plumb lines, threads, levels( these auxiliary tools will help to accomplish the tasks with high accuracy and excellent masonry quality);
  • template( this device helps to accurately apply the solution to the surface, as well as masonry the next rows of bricks);
  • bulgarian( this tool will help to prune the brick if there are some difficulties with the size of the material).

These tools are most often used, but in the case of some exotic materials, some others can be used. It is important to stock up all of these funds in advance so that during the masonry process you do not have to leave and interrupt the process itself.

Brick masonry

If during the work there is a need for a non-integer brick, as soon as possible, during the process, start cutting the material. This will save a lot of time, and will also allow you to make the entire amount of masonry without delay. It is also important to mix the solution in advance so that it can already be used at the beginning of the work. Then perform the following operations:

  1. We begin the laying of the first row. It should be laid out around the perimeter of the building. Measuring work should be carried out especially carefully here. Any error can damage the overall structure of the masonry. The mortar on the brick is applied using a template. Many solutions need not be placed, it can even damage the integrity of the cladding in the future.
  2. We put the second row in a slightly different way. First, put the brick on the sides of the row. Again, the solution is applied with a template. This avoids mistakes and certain surface contamination. And this factor is very important, because the lining, most often, is used precisely as a decorative material. In the same way, we put another 5 or 6 rows.
  3. After laying the bricks at the corners, it is necessary to stretch the thread along the entire perimeter of the structure along each row. This will make it possible to produce the rows of masonry on the rest of the house as accurately as possible. Such a simple operation really allows you to get a chic result of the masonry.
  4. You should also take care of the seams of the brickwork. To the aesthetic component really suited everyone, you should use a special tool that smoothes the seams. All this must be done while laying, otherwise the solution will solidify and nothing will be done.
  5. We continue to produce brick masonry. Regularly check the leveling of the masonry with a level. Do not forget about the seaming. Each new series should be equipped with a template, because the appearance of the cladding, in the end, should be chic.
