Construction materials, The brick.
If you are an observer you will have noticed that in the constructions that surround you, that are part of your daily landscape, there is the use of different types of brick or blocks, well that is precisely what I will expose in this publication, its dimensions, because they are like that, the material, its performance and its distribution, as well as some practical advice so that you can make an intelligent purchase.
The measurements of these bricks have a purpose, their dimensions are adequate to facilitate different wall configurations, the bricks in general are 27 cm long, a width of about 12 centimeters and a thickness of about 5.5 centimeters.
But because these dimensions, more than the measurements themselves, some proportions must be preserved, for example, that the length of the brick is equal to two widths, plus a joint.
On the other hand, along the length of the brick, four bricks should fit edgewise plus their respective joint.
And finally, the width of the brick should fit two edge bricks plus their joint.
The market usually comes with smaller bricks that are obviously cheaper, but the thing is that when you have to build a wall to make a square meter, maybe instead of 60 bricks you are using 70, which ultimately works for you. to end up being much more expensive than buying a brick of more generous dimensions.
The advantages of common bricks due to their small size, they can achieve different thicknesses of walls, for example, walls of 15, walls of 30 placed in this way as indicated or walls of 20, on the other hand they are bricks that resist a lot of weight and They are very suitable for supporting very large loads, they can also be cut very easily with a mason's spoon, they can be split to make adjustments within a wall.
As for the disadvantages, let's say they take more labor to build a wall, being small they precisely require more labor, more man-hours to make a wall and, in addition, a greater amount of mortar, of mixture to stick it.
I hope the information is useful when making a decision, do not forget to support me and we will read next time, bye.
