Masonry own hands

Central to the construction of houses of brick is of course the quality of the masonry.It is worth noting that perform masonry really high quality can only experienced masons, but in the realities of our country, the cost of hiring professional builders are often prohibitive for the average man.As you know, the skills of Russian men is legendary, so masonry with their hands - not the option that should be rejected in the first place.Especially when it comes to small and not very responsible buildings.Beginners masons self-taught should begin with small masonry with their hands, such as a barn, is fraught with much less risk than the wrong house erected.Just note that the masonry with their hands requires at least the theoretical knowledge in the construction industry, which we try to convey in this article.

First, consider the tools needed for the construction of the brick.The solution is spread with a trowel (trowel), to give the desired shape using a brick jointing and hammer-pick, to monitor the correctness and flatness of masonry walls using the level, plumb line and rule.

great importance, in this case, as masonry with their hands is the solution.Composition of the solution may vary depending on the location where the construction is made, but it should be a primary factor - all solution components, such as cement must be of high quality.Just note, correctly executed masonry material consumption is minimized.

There are three basic ways to carry out brickwork.It is laying back to back, laying back to back with trimming and laying vprizhym.Each of the methods is applied depending on various conditions, including the ambient temperature, the type of solution is used, the height of the wall and its functional purpose, the state of the brick, etc.

try to deal with each type of masonry in more detail.

clutch is applied in abutment when the solution is characterized by mobility and plasticity, but there is no need for a full grouting.In this embodiment, the masonry brick to go on a prepared bed of sparse solution, then firmly pressed.After the bricks is slid, in the solution, which is left over at the edge of the wall it is possible to fill a space formed by a vertical seam, then again firmly pressed brick.

In the case of the solution is characterized by rigidity and used bonder and stretcher bricks, masonry vprizhim selected.This type of laying requires the preparation of bed at 3 or 5 lozhkovyh bonder bricks.For prizhimki bricks using trowel.The required amount of solution to go from the edge of the wall, stepping 10-15cm.This type of laying is the most difficult and requires certain skills to work with a solution of high hardness.

Laying butt with trimming find something in between the two methods, which have been described above.Bricks lie right next to each other, but at the same time the solution of plastic performance and styling similar to the solution used for laying vprizhim.

With any method of laying should not forget the grouting after be stacked several rows.This procedure produced with the help of pointing, making the seam more dense, and also allows to give it a different look.

During bricklaying requires the use of a number of ways to make more solid masonry.One such method is ligation of the joints, making a monolithic wall.Ligation joints involves following a certain order in the arrangement of brick masonry.It must be accompanied by bandaging brickwork corners.There are several methods of ligation that can be combined in a single wall.

As you can see, Masonry has many nuances, so the best solution would be to entrust it to professionals, or at least bring to the construction of an experienced mason, who will tell the correct course of action and will prevent mistakes.
