Decorative brick for interior

Types of decorative bricks

Clinker decorative bricks

Clinker bricks are the best facing material of the highest quality. It is environmentally friendly since the basis of such a brick is clay. The dimensions of this brick vary from 16 to 20 cm in width and 6 cm in height, and the thickness is approximately 2 cm. Because of the high quality of the brick, it has a fairly high cost. When manufactured, it is fired in furnaces and therefore has great strength. Also, when firing, the brick gets a variety of shades, which gives it greater realism. The clinker is used both for facing outside and inside.

Decorative brick with a base of cement or gypsum

This kind of brick is made quite simply, the mortar is prepared and poured into the mold. And when the brick freezes and gets some strength, it is removed from the mold and continues to dry. In the end, you get an ordinary stone, similar in color and shape to a brick. On the surface of such a brick there are certain roughnesses.

Brick with a base of gypsum is the most fragile. I use it in those places of the premises, which are washed very rarely and are not subject to high loads.

Brick with a foundation on cement is much stronger. In contrast to gypsum, it is moisture-resistant, which makes it possible to use it for facing outside and in rooms with high humidity.

Use of decorative bricks in rooms

Finishing in the living room and bedrooms

When using a brick finish, a sense of security and reliability is created. Brick masonry should always fit in the interior and give a feeling of comfort, not the pressure of gloomy walls, so carefully choose the color scheme.

The main location of the decorative brick is the decoration of the fireplace and the decoration of the wall behind the TV.In the rest rooms, brick is rarely used, but you can try to combine it with other types of cladding.

Finish in the kitchen

If you have a large kitchen, you can clay all the walls. Designers consider white brick to be the best choice of a stone for a kitchen. When decorating the wall above the working area, we strongly advise you to use clinker tiles, as this area is subjected to frequent wet cleaning. If you use a dark finish, then you would like to install structures with additional lighting.

Finishing of corridors

In the corridors, the finishing is performed more often by pieces than completely. Trim corners and places that are quickly dirty. In general, the corridors are small in size and poorly lit, so it is desirable to use the finish of light tones. If you want to cover all the walls completely, then it is better to do it in the basement and basement rooms.

Tips for laying decorative bricks

And in the end we would like to give you some advice on laying bricks

1. . Before laying decorative bricks, the walls must be well leveled.
2. If you do not want your tile to fall off, you need to use a suitable glue. For cement based cement and clinker, use a cement based adhesive. Well, for gypsum stone itself - glue with a base of gypsum.
3. Prior to working with gypsum-based glue, surface should be primed.
4. The seam of the next row must be above the middle of the lower stone.
5. Grouting is a very important point, do not forget about it.
6. Treat stones with varnish to give more moisture resistance. Clinker stone is not treated with additional substances that prevent moisture from entering.
7. Do not overdo with the number of seats to be trimmed, otherwise there will be an impression of ruin.
