Best practices for proper brick laying and construction
Proper site clearing, leveling, and marking. Ensure adequate foundation preparation with proper compaction and drainage. Mark layout using strings and levels for accurate alignment.
Soak bricks in water for adequate time (typically 6-12 hours) to prevent excessive water absorption from mortar. Prepare mortar mix with proper cement-sand ratio (1:4 to 1:6).
Start from corners and work towards center. Use spirit level for horizontal alignment. Maintain uniform joint thickness (typically 10mm). Apply mortar on bed and vertical joints.
Maintain staggered bonding pattern (typically English or Flemish bond). Check vertical alignment with plumb bob. Maintain consistent joint thickness throughout.
Proper joint finishing for weather resistance and aesthetics. Options include flush joint, struck joint, weathered joint, or concave joint. Use proper tools for uniform finish.
Proper curing of brickwork for minimum 7 days. Protect from rapid drying, rain, and frost during initial setting period. Maintain moisture for proper cement hydration.
