Construction Types
Concrete blocks
Concrete blocks are usually large blocks, with two large internal hollow interiors. They are usually cheaper to buy per square meter of the wall, and a great product, which are cheaper, lay.Concrete blocks on a concrete foundation and slate land or placed below is not required. The outer surface of the concrete blocks should be sealed with paint or coating of cement.
The interior can be finished with cement and painted or just painted. After the walls are constructed, they are almost done, except for the paint. This is a cheaper construction than twice construction.Concrete brick blocks are used for the walls. After construction of the wall, the steel reinforcement is placed by a structural engineer and poured concrete indication of the large internal cavity.
Aerated concrete
These should be installed by a professional in this field. If the owner or builder DIY built, you should read and follow technical data. The blocks should not be placed directly on the ground or in concrete foundations. A vapor barrier course must be resolved in the basics and then mount the blocks. All the water is absorbed into the ground or concrete block or destroy the unit. See data sheets for more information. The popularity of this type of construction has increased in recent years due to lower costs than full brick, and it is a faster construction process.
Brick Veneer
Brick veneer construction consists mainly of external load external wall built with a single skin of brick and the interior and exterior wall construction with a frame and plaster, gypsum cement board or fiber board or wood or other suitable food between the wall mount, available forms, in many. He is installed, the interior bearing walls are not usually just wood or steel frame walls with insulation, and appropriate to both sides of a wood or steel frame with insulation and gypsum sheathing, gypsum or fibreboard cement, wood or transparencies or other building material. If not treated, the walls need painting inside.
This construction is generally much cheaper. As an easier and cheaper “basic” or floor systems is necessary. Note that this type of construction, reduced thermal and acoustic performance runs as a double brick of people who are considering an additional floor of your home or building has example.For if the manufacturer recommends that the existing building is not particularly strong it is common to see built, a brick veneer on the top floor with double taxation existing floor structure of brick agreements.
