Brick is one of the most popular building materials. It is used in the process of erecting walls and ceilings for residential and commercial buildings. It has a lot of advantages.
The main advantages of the material are:
- Strength;
- Durability;
- Ecological cleanliness and safety;
- The ability to keep warm indoors;
- Resistance to negative external factors and damage.
Most often, specialists are engaged in laying bricks, but you can save a budget by understanding the masonry technology and following simple rules. It is important to understand that the main difficulty of the work is that it requires attention and accuracy.
Rules for laying the first row of bricks
The laying of the first row of a brick wall should occur only after the foundation has completely dried. Drying time is completely dependent on weather conditions. In warm climates, the foundation completely hardens and can withstand loads after 2 days.
The first row of bricks can be laid only after careful preparation of the base, which includes setting the corners and leveling the coating. It is important to note that the first row is set to the width of the base, and the mortar is not used for masonry.
During initial laying, it is important to monitor the level as often as possible. If the first row of bricks is stacked unevenly, this can lead to further destruction of the walls and the emergence of potentially dangerous situations. Also, the uneven level of the walls will make it impossible to form even door and window openings and to lay roofing material.
The maximum value of the error can vary up to 2 cm. Such defects can be corrected without dismantling the building structure. If such errors are detected, it is recommended to contact professionals, because incorrect actions at this stage can lead to a negative result.
Stages of laying the first row of bricks
At the initial stage, you should make sure that the foundation foundation is dry and completely frozen. After that, you need to lay a layer of waterproofing on it. As an insulating material, roofing material can be used.
To make sure that the bricks are level, you need to periodically tap with a hammer on their surface. This will level their level and firmly fix in niches.
