When choosing a brick for the construction of a house, it is necessary to determine at once which object you intend to erect. The choice of bricks is a responsible and unhurried event. Thoroughly tapping and weighing a separate specimen, meticulously consider the presence of microcracks on the surface. Remember, saving on the cost of brick is not recommended, because after a certain time, anything can happen ...

Facing material No. 1
Who and when blinded the first brick, which later became the great-grandfather of modern building material, the story tactfully silent.
Probably, it was an industrious and purposeful person. Since those ancient years, the brick was tempered and matured, that is why today it is a universal facing material with the following positive qualities:
• mechanical strength
• soundproofing
• frost resistance
• Fire resistance.
Due to such qualities, building brick is widely used in the construction of houses, the erection of columns and structures, embodying the number one facing material.
Types and categories of bricks
By its direct designation and type of manufacture, the brick is divided into the following categories:
• Private (construction)
• silicate brick
• Facial (finishing)
• Furnace.
building bricks
Like a soldier from the construction battalion, an ordinary building brick can be seen in the rows of masonry of internal and external walls of buildings or structures. Smooth and cohesive rows of this brick require additional refinement and plastering. The ordinary brick is easy to recognize by its appearance: on the lateral side of the facing material there is a characteristic geometric pattern, a dented shape.
This structural side provides the best grip when laying with plaster mortar. Therefore, choosing a facing material for the construction of a country house, it will be impossible to make a mistake in choosing a brick for a private soldier.
Brick construction is designed for the erection of load-bearing walls, foundations and partition walls, as well as everywhere, where it is necessary to pad any slot.
Brick ordinary has certain properties, as well as technical characteristics, which mean:
• dimensions and weight
• material density
• presence or absence of internal voids.
The brick of a private soldier can be hollow and full-bodied. The structure of hollow bricks is characterized by improved sound and heat-saving properties. The appearance of such improved qualities of the material is facilitated by the presence of airtight cavities with air located inside the brick.
Hollow brick is an ideal option for the construction of internal walls and partitions, which are unloaded.
For reference, ceramic hollow bricks of M-200 type with dimensions of 250x120x138 mm, weight 5.5 kg. voidness up to 32%, will have a strength of 200 kgf / cm2.
Brick solid can withstand a significant load, because it has excellent strength characteristics.
So, for example, at the ordinary full-bricks of mark М-75 with the sizes 250х120х65 mm. weighing 3.5 kg, the strength reaches 75 kgf / cm2.
Blondes perfectly know literally all the properties of bricks, so we'll believe their story completely by looking at the proposed video.
silicate brick
Silicate bricks are a kind of piece of ordinary building bricks. Outwardly silicate brick can not be confused with anything. The brick is white, less often light gray, because it is made from a mixture of quartz, chalk, water and soda.
Building silicate brick is used for erection of external bearing walls and partitions and is most in demand in low-rise construction. If we take in comparison ordinary ceramic brick, then the silicate brick has an increased sound insulation and a considerable density. However, silicate brick is distinguished by a high coefficient of thermal conductivity and wetting.
Distinguish silicate bricks hollow and full. For comparison of prices: the price for hollow silicate brick is much lower than for solid brick. Silicate brick is distinguished for its excellent decorative characteristics, therefore it is an indispensable material when decorating walls or partitions. Due to additives and dyes in the composition of silicate brick, the commercial appearance of the lining material does not deteriorate and does not change for a long time. Shaped or figured silicate bricks can also have angular, rounded, oval shape, and also bevels on one or both sides.
facing brick
Face brick has a uniform color and smooth surfaces on both sides. The face of the brick is called "spoon" and "poke".
The face surface of this type of brick can have a matte, glossy or rough structure.
Before choosing a facade bricks for finishing or facing bricks, specify its specifications.
This is a measure of frost resistance, voidness and strength. The index of strength is laid in the designation and marking of the face brick. So, the brick of the front mark M 100 can withstand a load of 100 kg. per 1 square cm.
With the use of facing and facing bricks, it is possible to perform the facing of walls, facades, ledges, cornices, and also facing elements of doors and windows.
The cost of facing brick in comparison with ordinary brick is higher.
For the facing of complex architectural forms or the embodiment of compositions, figurative brick is an indispensable material. The figured brick is manufactured by the industry in original forms, some of which can be called classic.
It is "European" smooth with a bevelled angle (dimensions 250x110x65 mm, weight 4.1 kg), or "semicircular Finnish" (dimensions 230х100х65 mm, weight 3.14 kg) and many other forms. When choosing a facade finishing brick, it is necessary to consult an experienced specialist who produces a masonry of brick forms or houses made of bricks.
kiln brick
Brick, designed for stove laying, differs from the standard brick dimensions. The brick is smaller in size than the traditional ones, and sometimes even has a relief structure. Fireclay bricks brick has a granular structure and a soft color.
