What types of bricks are commonly used?
Choosing the right type of bricks is crucial in determining the outcome of a structure. Different types of bricks are designed for their unique functional and aesthetic purposes in construction projects.
Bricks are manufactured at varying temperatures and with different aesthetics, each with a specific quality standard in mind. In the UK, there are three types of bricks commonly used:
Common bricks
These bricks are used for their functional properties rather than their visual appeal. They come in odd colours and mismatched shapes, making them less visually attractive. Common bricks are typically used in shared walls or second-wall layers but can also be paired with facing bricks to achieve a more consistent look.
Engineering bricks
These bricks are made to withstand extreme weather conditions, moisture, and intense compression strength. Engineering bricks contain high-quality materials, durable and resistant to damage. They are also chemical-resistant, ideal for underground works, foundations, and water-related projects.
Facing bricks
These bricks are used on the exterior of homes and buildings to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance. They are weather-resistant, heat-resistant, and energy-efficient. Facing bricks come in various colours, shapes, and sizes, making them a great option for unique and visually appealing designs.
Types of waterproofing methods for brick
Exposure to regular and excessive rainfall can lead to water absorption, causing brickwork to retain excess moisture. Over time, this moisture can become vulnerable to the freeze-thaw effect, leading to structural damage to the bricks.
Moisture also provides an ideal environment for growths such as mould and mildew, which can further compromise the integrity of the brick.
To tackle these issues and protect the brickwork from water-related damage, you can implement effective waterproofing methods. There are various waterproofing options available, each differing in cost and approach to preventing water from penetrating the bricks.
Painting waterproofing
This method protects the bricks from water and comes in various colours that can match the neighbourhood's aesthetic. Masonry paints are durable and can be applied to surfaces like cement renders and pebble dashes, ensuring comprehensive protection and a consistent look.
Silicone waterproofing
This is one of the most effective waterproofing methods, protecting against extreme weather conditions, including snow, frost, and heavy rain. Silicone waterproofing can also improve the building's insulation, reduce energy bills, and increase efficiency.
Damp-proof membrane
This type of waterproofing prevents rising damp in buildings with basements. Applied to external brick walls that contain a basement, damp-proof membranes act as a reliable barrier against moisture infiltration from the ground.
Plaster waterproofing
This involves applying a cement-sand mortar plaster to the brick surface once the construction is complete. This plaster creates an additional protective layer, shielding the underlying bricks from direct exposure to water.
By employing appropriate waterproofing techniques based on specific requirements and budgets, homeowners can maintain the integrity and appearance of their exterior brickwork. Preventing water from penetrating the bricks ensures the structural integrity and preserves their appearance.
