Skilled Masonry and Brickwork Service Will Deliver Long-Lasting Performance
Most people might have some familiarity with the fairy tale about a wolf that was unable to blow down a house made of bricks in an effort to capture a pig that lived in the home. Without getting into the details of the saga, suffice to say that the strength and reliability of brick as a building material was well represented; the fact that this tale is more than a century old is further testament to the durability of brick construction, as its service life or lifecycle is commonly accepted to be one hundred years or longer.
In addition to its long-term endurance, clay brick has several other properties that make it a practical choice as a building material. The most common of these would consist of:
- Fire protection
- Moisture control
- Sturdy in high winds
- Minimal maintenance
- Noise/sound absorption
- Resistance to infestation
- Natural energy efficiency
- Can be recycled and reused
Furthermore, brickwork does not have to been restricted to the exterior walls of a home or office building. Due to its strength, brickwork can be integrated into several different types of projects, including:
- Structural
- Buildings
- Foundations
- Retaining Walls
- Arches and Entrances
- Footpaths and Driveways
- Aesthetics and Surface Finishes
- In pavements and driveways
- As facer brick or veneer walls
- For architectural designs/accents
- Fire Protection/Retardation
- Chimneys
- Fireplaces
- Barbecue pits
- Industrial baking ovens
In order to achieve maximum benefit and performance from the use of brick, the project must be properly constructed. This will require experienced and reliable masonry work by a knowledgeable contractor, like the masonry division of Avenue Road Roofing.
