Some features of the choice of brick
Currently, the construction of various facilities is very wide. And how high -quality the material is used for this, the durability of a residential building or production. Most often, brick is used as a building material. Therefore, choosing it, you should take into account a number of points.
Everyone is well known to domestic climatic conditions. When conducting construction work in our climate, it is necessary to use a brick that has frost resistance of more than 30-35 cycles. It is best to build partitions from a brick of a construction semi -dry pressing. If the facing of the house is made of such material, then they should be plastered as soon as possible. This will not allow you to create waterproofing, but will allow you to protect the walls for a while.
It should be borne in mind that the price of a double brick is less than an ordinary. Double brick is more economical, since when laying it requires less solution and time to carry out this kind of work. It is also important that the facing brick should be acquired the same brand as the construction. Only in this case the wall will have a homogeneous strength. To ensure better thermal insulation, it is recommended to use not hollow, but porous brick as a material. But it must be protected from external negative influences by a layer of conventional brick or plaster.
When choosing a brick, you should not pay attention to the color of the clay from which it is made, since this factor does not affect the quality of building material. If the construction of the facility is carried out in conditions of extreme weather conditions, then the best option in this case will be the use of clinker bricks. It should also be used in the manufacture of barriers or even roads.
To determine the quality of the brick, attention should be paid to the color of its core and the sound made during impact. If its color is more saturated than the color of the body of the brick, and it makes a ringing sound when impact, then such material has good quality. If the brick is unfinished, then it has a mustard color and makes a dull sound. It is not recommended to use it, since it is poorly opposed to frost and moisture. But if its shape is not violated, and only the core has black, then such material is subsequently not inferior in its strength to the gland.
