by iibuilder-news

For many years, one of the main types of building materials is a brick. But few, except for the builder-professional, know that there are several types of bricks, such, for example, hollow, silicate and ceramic, as well as other species.

Facial ceramic brick is produced using a mixture of cement, dyes and limestone, through modern technology-gypsum management. The smooth and smooth surface of such brick allows you to apply on it, if necessary or the desire of the customer, an image or pattern. The material itself can be made in a wide variety of colors and shades, from the usual red and yellow, to gray. It should be noted the high stability of this material to burnout. This material is also interesting in that it can be almost any shape: rounded, rhomboid, wedge -shaped and any other that allows you to use it for a wide variety of construction and repair work.

Building facial brake brick is used, in most cases, for the construction of light structures or internal walls. Such material can not be categorically used to build foundations, basements and other massive structures, since if moisture comes to the brick, then when freezing, it will destroy it.

For the construction of load -bearing structures and internal partitions, as a rule, facial silicate brick is used. Such brick cannot be used at constant high humidity or temperature, for these reasons, to strengthen basements, laying the foundation and other volumetric construction work, you need to choose another type of brick.
