If some time ago it was hard to find the owner who built his house from a porous brick, now most cottages are being built just from this convenient and pleasant look of material, whose quality cannot be doubtful. At the same time, using ceramic bricks for the construction of buildings, you should not save on the selection of workers. Only the builder of the high category can professionally lay the masonry, who knows about the properties of ceramics, technology for kneading the solution, has the concept of the labor of the mason and has extensive experience. To control the process of building walls, the owner of the future house should get acquainted with some subtleties of working with porous ceramic material.
Since these bricks are not so durable, when cutting it, it is worth limiting yourself to an ordinary grinder without using other tools. From excessive impact on masonry in the wall of the house, cracks can form, passing cold air. Experts recommend starting styling from corner blocks. In the future, according to their location, it will be possible to verify the straight line of the rest of the wall. If you moisten bricks with ordinary water before work, this will more accurately drive them to each other. The seams are allowed in size of not more than 15 mm, and it is desirable to fill them with a solution with a low conductivity of heat. Check the side seams: when they are combined with building blocks, they must also be filled with a solution. To make the strength of the masonry at a height, it is necessary to check the load distribution. So, a rough mistake will be the connection of partitions with ceilings and outer walls – this can lead to the collapse of the entire structure! If the septum size is too large, you will need to additionally reinforce it. The so -called “anchors” are placed in the outer walls, which are then connected to the walls at the junction. Bricks in places of connection of the external and internal wall are shortened (cut) through one row. At the same time, if you are not sure in the order of work, it is advisable to consult a third -party professional who is not interested in fragmentation of hired builders.
