One of the most difficult stages in the construction of a building is the erection of a brick wall. And it doesn’t matter if it is a private house or a garage - the principle of work and the brick laying algorithm do not change from this. And in order for the erected building not to collapse after a few months, the builders use special devices for laying facing bricks. What are these devices and what are their features, let's figure it out.
Note that the device for bricklaying (including Bricky) is the main and indispensable equipment for the construction of walls. Using such tools, you will be 100 percent sure of the quality of the work you are doing. Of course, such success will only be when you use each device for its intended purpose and be able to handle it.
Trowel
The most popular device that is involved in such construction works is a trowel. This device for bricklaying is a small spatula with a smooth metal surface. It is used at the very earliest stages of wall construction, since it serves as a leveling solution and to fill vertical joints with concrete. Thus, this device for bricklaying is activated immediately after the brick was laid on the surface of the built wall.
A bucket or shovel is also one of the main devices that are used in the construction of a brick building. It is used in order to spread or supply concrete mortar to the wall and to further spread it. It is used in cases where it is necessary to mix the liquid in the box.
Stitching
This device for bricklaying performs, rather, a decorative function, rather than a technical one. It is used to align seams. At the output, the layer between the exposed bricks is uniform, rounded and symmetrical.
Such a tool as a pickaxe hammer is used when it is necessary to break off any part of the brick and give it the desired shape. Also used for scraping a brick surface.
Using a plumb line, you can accurately determine the level of inclination and verticality of the wall.
Level - this is perhaps the most popular and familiar to all of us device. Using a special mark (a floating bubble in a small container in the center), builders determine the angle at which the wall and a row of bricks are laid. Used to prevent further inclination of the front of the building. The smoother the brick is built, the more reliable and durable the wall itself will be.
Square and n-mooring
Using these tools, you can accurately determine and measure the given angles, as well as track the horizontalness and directness of the laid out row of cinder block.
The last brick masonry fixture is called straightening. With its help, builders note the contours of the openings, the location of jumpers, slabs, floors and runs.
