Houses typically use a brick as a basic framework of the wall. However, if you’re already quite familiar with this material so that one can choose the best?

Old red brick and the now very different, both in terms of strength and size. In addition to the more brittle, their dimensions were becoming increasingly shrinking. These things are interrelated, for some reason that the higher production costs or selling prices which should be increasingly suppressed. If the views of its kind, consisting of bricks of clay or clay bricks, sand lime bricks, mortar and brick. In terms of production, there is a conventional red bricks and brick press.

Red brick conventional coarse texture, not neat, and levels of hardness depending on the quality of materials and firing techniques. Brick types are somewhat difficult to justify the size and strength. While brick press smoother texture, the same size and hardness is better. Brick color will also depend on the type of clay used and the long process of combustion.

In terms of applications, typically used in conventional brick construction with stucco walls due to lack of regular brick type can easily be covered with layers of cement. While brick press is often applied without overlays or the more often we are familiar with exposed brick.

One type of brick masonry kuo shin press is commonly used for fencing materials. This type of brick has actually been through due diligence so that their quality can be justified. Sometimes each case must be seen first cause. Is it because of technical installations are less than perfect or things other less appropriate.
One of the advantages to use the press as the brick is exposed brick, the brick is indeed tend durable or durable. The size is too precise, but most people assess his artistic side as it seemed less rigid and less natural. Naturally, this is because the product is produced by machines that tend to be typical and less artful.

However, you do not worry, as this can be overcome by the preparation technique. If using conventional techniques would indeed monotonous and less artistically inclined.

Tricks for menyiasatinya is to make the grooves in each height 50 cm. Order a half-brick or half brick set in an upright position. This arrangement can be varied combinations of origin remain to consider the power brick and the fixed-position intermittent.

But, if you want to keep using conventional red brick walls remain visible in order to look artsy, the combination arrangement as above can also be applied in addition to installation techniques. It’s not every handyman can do this because the exposed brick takes precision and persistence is very high. Moreover, half of it is the work of art.

To get around the uneven texture of brick, installation techniques here a very important role. Material that is too thick, thin or thick irregular walls will make an appearance so impressed by this exposure, such as slums or semi-finished house.

Exposed brick is also quite susceptible to the fungus. Therefore, periodically do plating (coating) with a special fluid that protects the bricks from moisture and mildew. Do at least two times of coating after installation and can be repeated periodically, eg every three months so that the display wall in good and not easily affected by change of weather damage.

It would be better if exposed brick walls are protected from direct weather, such as used on the interior alone or terrace with a protective roof. Rain and hot sun more or less directly affect the color and look of brick.
