Facing brick is a natural, beautiful and durable material. But, like all materials, it must be used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer’s factory. We would like to pay attention to the most important details when using facial bricks.
The front brick can be divided into three main categories: this is a clinker brick, a facial ceramic and hyperpressed. Each of these types has its own characteristics and its physical and chemical properties, due to the technology of production. The main features include voidness, that is, it can be both full-bodied or have a perforation or in a different emptiness with a different percentage. Another feature is water absorption, in each brick it is different and ranges from 3 to 15 percent.
How are things with the reliability of facing brick and its frost resistance?
In this regard, the frost resistance of the brick is also different. All of the above is important because it determines the correctness of the use of the construction facility in question. It should be noted that the usual facing brick has an average emergency of 36 percent and water absorption from 8 to 12 percent, therefore, when laying, it is necessary to use a special masonry mixture and in no case do a “drowned seam” or, in a different way, in-depth. Be sure, it is necessary before laying the first row of brick, make waterproofing, and thoroughly cover the upper rows. If, for example, this is a column on the fence in order to avoid moisture in the inner part of the material.
If you adhere to these recommendations, then the brick will serve for many years and not bring any trouble. The same recommendations relate to clinker and hyperpressed species. Of course, for example, the clinker brick has a lower water absorption in contrast to the facial and therefore boldly used when laying fences and chimneys, the same applies to hyperpressed bricks, but this does not mean that the above recommendations should not be applied to them. If you follow these recommendations, then your facade, your fence and your chimney will be saved from premature destruction.
But the front brick is not harmful to human health?
As you know, the composition of hyperpressed bricks includes dyes, so over time, under the influence of ultraviolet radiolet, it begins to “burn out” and lose its color, and it is recommended that after the masonry work is completed and the masonry is completely dried up with a special hydrophabus, which gives the brick a more saturated brick. color and the so -called “wet effect” is obtained.
We hope that our recommendations will help you make the right choice when selecting the most popular building material. You will find more detailed information about facing bricks in the CatalogFace_keramic section. (Your attention is offered a catalog with information about all types and manufacturers of this building material, which was considered in this article).
