Design and implementation of brick facade in the building

Designing and implementing a brick facade is one of the oldest methods of beautifying buildings. Of course, nowadays, due to the high variety of materials that are used to design the facade of the building, this facade design method has become very popular. We can even say that most modern buildings use this facade.

If you pay attention to your surroundings when you walk in the city, you will see a variety of building facades, each of which gives a special beauty and charm to the building. One of the design of the facade of the building is the design and execution of the brick facade. We know that the facade of the building is considered the most important part in beautifying the building. Therefore, it is necessary to be very careful when choosing a suitable view.

We know that brick is one of the oldest materials used for building. But in recent years, buildings built with other equipment are designed with brick facades. While these facades have high resistance, they are economical in terms of economy and are very resistant to fire. Therefore, they can be easily used to design and implement the brick facade of office, villa, commercial and residential buildings.

The most important issue that you should pay attention to regarding brick facades is the material used in the facade. In the following, we will mention the introduction of these materials and their characteristics.

 

Materials for design and implementation of brick facade

Types of brick facade materials and their features

Many materials are used for the design and execution of the brick facade, among the most famous and popular of these materials, we should mention the following materials:

  1. Clay brick

This type of brick facade material is made with great precision and can be used in different parts of the building facade. The most important feature of this example of brick facades is lightness and comfort, resistance to heat and the beauty of clay bricks.

  1. Pressed brick

Another material used for brick facade is pressed brick. These types of bricks, which are mostly used for strengthening and underpinning buildings, are produced completely manually and traditionally. Pressure bricks usually have higher resistance than other bricks and have a high weight. For this reason, they lead to an increase in the weight of the building.

 

  1. Refractory brick

One of the most widely used materials for the design and implementation of modern brick facades, we should mention firebrick. These facing bricks have high heat resistance and are more expensive than other bricks. But since they are resistant to the sun, erosion, moisture and scratches, they are used to secure the building.

 

  1. Kazakh brickOne of the oldest materials used for brick facade design is Kazakh brick. These bricks are mainly white in color and are prepared in a completely traditional way. They can be used to insulate the facade of the building against cold and heat.
  2. Cement brickThese bricks are among other examples of widely used materials for designing and implementing brick facades. Cement bricks are mainly produced from gravel, cement and sand and enter the market in both solid and hollow forms. Since the surface of these bricks is smooth, they can be used well for the facade of the building.

    Important elements in the design and implementation of brick facade

    As we mentioned, there are various examples of bricks for building facades. But each of these materials should be used for the facade of buildings depending on which elements? Before choosing one of the bricks for the facade of the building, it is better to consider the elements that influence the design of the brick facade.

    The most effective element of brick facade design is the use of suitable raw materials. Bricks are used for different parts of construction. For example, some are suitable for walls, some are suitable for sidewalk flooring, and others are suitable for building facades. Each of these bricks has different characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to this element before choosing a suitable brick for the facade.

    On the other hand, the type of application, the degree of brick resistance against cold and heat is also another important element that you should pay attention to before designing and implementing a brick facade when choosing the right brick.

Types of brick facade design styles

There are many different design styles for brick facade design. But among these styles, the most common and popular design style is the brick facade of villa buildings with refractory bricks. This facade has contributed to the beauty and attractiveness of villa buildings and since it has a high cost, it is mostly chosen by the affluent classes.

But there is another type of brick facade design and implementation, which is implemented with white Dutch brick. This brick facade design style gives a special beauty to the facade of the building and is usually used for office and residential buildings. Of course, it should be noted that today most of the modern and beautiful buildings use brick facade design. Therefore, we must say that not only the brick facade has not fallen out of fashion, but it is chosen by many people due to the lower cost of implementation and installation.

Installation and implementation of brick facade in the building

Three general methods can be used to install and execute the brick facade. In the first method, which uses cement mortar, it is the most traditional method. In this method, the connection of the brick facade to the body of the building is strong and does not require engineering calculations before designing and implementing the brick facade. It is possible to use cement to create a brick facade uniformly. Of course, I must say that in this method, more time will be required to install the brick facade.

Another method used to install a brick facade is to use glue. In this method, it is necessary to use an adhesive that is compatible with the technical characteristics of the brick facade. In the method of building a brick facade with glue, it is necessary to tie the bricks to prevent water from penetrating behind the bricks.

At the end, we should also mention the method of designing and implementing dry brick facade. This method, which is used today to implement the facade, does not require any mortar, and the brick facade can be implemented on the building only by using screws and dowels. The speed of installation in this method is high and not much construction waste is produced. On the other hand, it is considered a suitable thermal insulation method for the building. For this reason, it is more popular than other methods
