Tens, and maybe hundreds of thousands of brick structures, which are more than 100-150 years old, have been erected around the world. Today, new types of building materials continue to appear and disappear, but brick remains the main building material in the world. In this article, we will analyze the main advantages of brick, thanks to which it is so popular in the construction of cottages and multi-storey buildings. Among the many advantages of bricks , we decided to focus on only seven main ones, because of which most people choose bricks for building their houses - these are strength, durability, environmental friendliness, frost resistance, aesthetics and versatility of use, fire safety and soundproofing features. Strength Brick strength is one of the most important characteristics of this building material. For most people who want to build a real durable house, brick is the only suitable building material, primarily because of its high strength. This is the main feature of this building material, which must be taken into account when building a brick house. The strength of a brick is expressed by its grade and is denoted by the letter "M", followed by the strength value in numbers. The numbers after the letter show what kind of load in kilograms per 1 sq. Cm. able to withstand a brick. For example, the M125 brand means that this type of brick is guaranteed to withstand a load of 125 kg per 1 sq. Cm. Unlike foam and aerated concrete blocks of the M25-50 brand, for the construction of a cottage from bricks, up to three floors in height, it is enough to choose a brick of the M100 brand. These brick walls are strong and dense enough to hang a TV or large bookshelf. In the construction of multi-storey brick houses, brick of a grade not lower than M150 is used. Bricks of the M100, M125, M150, M175 brands are usually on sale. But there are also particularly strong bricks of the M200 and more brands. The record holder of the Republic of Bashkortostan in the production of durable building bricks is the Bashkirsky Brick holding, whose factories for 2 years in a row produced the most durable building bricks in the republic, M250 and M300 brands. Durability Brick cottages are considered one of the most durable buildings in the world. A properly built brick house can last 100-150 years without repairing the facade. These data are also confirmed by official GOSTs. But the most important proof of the durability of brick buildings is the numerous buildings and structures made of bricks, which are several hundred years old! In addition to brick, no modern building material can boast of such longevity. For those who are planning to build a house that will still serve their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, brick is the best solution. Solid, comfortable, reliable - a brick house embodies the best ideas about the family estate, capable of preserving family values and traditions for centuries. Brick houses are resistant to almost all external natural factors. Brick walls withstand frost, rain, heat well and are able to withstand the destructive effects of other atmospheric and biological factors. It is for this reason that the expression “My home is my castle” is more suitable than ever for brick houses that embody the embodiment of reliability, durability, comfort and safety. Sustainability Bricks are made from clay, sand and water. Such a brick is a natural and environmentally friendly material that does not contain substances harmful to humans. And thanks to its structure, the brick is able to pass air well. It is for this reason that brick is called a "breathable" material. Also, the brick does not undergo rotting processes, and any pests are not afraid of it. This differs it from wood, which is also an environmentally friendly material, but to protect it from mold and decay, it must be treated with chemical solutions, which leads to the loss of the original ecological properties of the wood. Brick walls regulate the humidity of the air in the house, due to which the conditions inside the building are comfortable for humans. This compares favorably with concrete, which is a moisture-retaining material. These features of bricks contribute to the creation of a favorable microclimate inside the house at any time of the year. In rain, snow or windy weather, a brick house will always be dry and warm, and humidity will be evenly distributed throughout the room. Because of these properties, brick multi-storey buildings have always been preferable to their panel counterparts. Frost resistance In the not very mild Russian climate, one of the main factors when choosing a material for the construction of a cottage or a house is the frost resistance of the building material. The more frost-resistant the material, the more durable the house itself will be. Frost resistance is the ability of a building material to withstand freezing and thawing in a water-saturated state. It is marked with the letter F, indicating the number of freeze and thaw cycles. The optimal number of cycles for the central regions of Russia is F35 / F50. The brick has high frost resistance, which is confirmed not only by tests, but also by many years of experience in its use in construction. Aesthetics and versatility Brick is perhaps the favorite material of architects. In addition to its high functional features, such as strength, durability and environmental friendliness, brick, as a building material, allows you to experiment and create unique projects, adjusted to the most unusual requirements and wishes of the customer. The small size of the brick and the masonry technology allow architects to apply a variety of solutions in the design of brick cottages. When choosing a brick for building a cottage, you can build as many floors as you like, choose any arrangement of rooms, plan any facade project. The house can be built in any architectural style, and the variety and originality of forms will give the house its own unique look. The brick walls of the house can be subjected to a wide variety of finishes. Brick also goes well with other types of building materials, and the simple technology of building a brick house allows you to implement various design solutions. Among other things, the construction of brick houses is widespread in our area also because the technologies for the construction of brick houses and cottages are already well developed, and it is not difficult to find good craftsmen for the implementation of the project. Fire safety The ability to withstand high temperatures is one of the main features of bricks, which distinguishes it favorably in the building materials market. Brick is a refractory material, it ideally complies with fire safety standards, and since brick walls do not support combustion, the possibility of fire in a brick house is minimized, unlike wooden and frame houses. In emergency situations, this circumstance can increase the chances of the fire brigade arriving on time and keeping the house. Even if the building burns down completely, the brick walls will remain intact, despite the fact that in case of severe fires, the brick box of the house may lose strength. But in any case, the fact remains - a brick is able to withstand strong fire, which is the undoubted advantage of a brick. Noise isolation In addition to all the listed advantages of brick, it is also worth noting that brick walls provide reliable sound insulation in the house. Brick walls are an excellent sound barrier. Comparing noise insulation among panel and wooden houses, it will be at the highest level in brick houses. Brick is the only modern building material tested by time. Brick houses have stood for centuries without losing their functional features, such as durability and strength, and their appearance has not lost its aesthetic appearance for centuries. Perhaps it is for this reason that many brick houses become real ancestral nests, passed down from generation to generation. The secret of a brick lies, first of all, in the simplicity of production and its unpretentiousness in construction. Possessing a number of serious advantages, brick has firmly established itself as a reliable and versatile building material. That is why, whether it is a large mansion or a small house, brick is an ideal material for the construction of durable and reliable housing.
