Professional bricklaying in Brisbane Tips


Almost all brick structures have a charming old-world feel about them. This charm is probably the reason why so many people fancy brick structures, and why many want to build with bricks or learn how building with bricks is done. In fact, Professional bricklaying in Brisbane  is increasingly gaining popularity among the do-it-yourself crowd. We need to keep the following tips in mind while bricklaying:
Space Out Your Bricks
Bricks have to be laid with even spaces in between. This promotes the strength of the structure. To make sure you get the spacing correct, try laying all your bricks out without mortar just so you can see if 10mm between each brick will leave you with even spaces. If it doesn't, say your last bricks will have 2 inches of space between them, then increase the space between each brick, but do so by evenly dividing the extra space.
Tap Them Straight
When you start laying bricks, you want to make sure they are laid evenly and straight. Again this is important for the structure's strength. A structure that has slanting (evenly slightly slanted) bricks may not last or hold for long. It is advised that you have a spirit level on hand at all times, and check to see if your bricks are even frequently throughout the bricklaying process.
Know Your Bricks
Before you even start on your project, it is important to know the bricks you are working with. Bricks can be made from several different materials and these can act differently in different climates
Calculate Your Mortar Correctly
When mortar is mixed, you only have about two hours before you have to use it up. If you don't, it will harden and will no longer be of any use. It is therefore important that you calculate your mortar correctly. This saves you time and money.
Keep these tips in mind when bricklaying, and you should be able to construct a simple brick structure.
