placement of bricks in the facade or exterior walls offers a wide range of benefits techniques to ensure any requirements Quality: Materials used in their manufacture are organic, so they are friendly to the environment / are very resistant to water ..., not to forget that they are aesthetically beautiful and give prestige to the home or work. At the same time, conducting the work details just so spectacular and creative.
I note that there are two types of brick making: one more rustic look (handmade) and another (machine made). Personally and in my experience ... I prefer the handmade brick, there is always natural.
The face bricks, surface treatment as may be:
- fired to flintware (with different shades)
- glazed and glazed (vitrify in the cooking process due to treatment with metal oxide + dye)
- slipped (clay minerals treated to prevent fungus and removing efflorescence that both ruin the finish and appearance)
- repellent (the bricks are dipped in siliconates and once in place, create a film that reduces the absorption of water while maintaining breathability> are very suitable for areas wet and cold).
addition, the brick can be combined in many ways: with stone, natural stone tile or even foreign stoneware (Gres de Breda type). There are different colors of bricks that are combined with any other foreign material. There are manufacturers that offer even greater range of colors (blue bricks, green, orange or black) for unique and personalized works. Ranges toned colors are a nice choice ...
