Concrete block
Some choices are: Hollow tile, cinder blocks or breezeblocks, or ordinary concrete. Our bricks are oversized to provide a faster construction time. Moreover, the water absorption rates are generally a lot lower for cinder and concrete blocks than they are for brick. These choices are often used in Houston as the structural center for veneered brick masonry. Sometimes they are used alone for factory walls, garages, retail locations and general industrial settings. In these areas this sort of appearance is acceptable or desirable. These plain concrete blocks are frequently ornamented with stucco. To give extra strength to a block wall, surface-bonding cement is sometimes used. It contains synthetic fibers for extra strength.
Brick construction
Solid brick masonry is made of multiple layers of bricks with the units aligned horizontally. They are bound together with bricks that run transverse to the wall. Every row of the bricks is called a "course". The arrangement of headers and stretchers used produces diverse bonds. There are no major utilitarian differences with the majority of bonds, however the appearance of the completed wall is changed. Bonds that are vertically staggered will tend to be a little stronger and less likely to have major cracking, as opposed to a non-staggered bond.
Solid masonry walls
Solid masonry walls, not having the steel reinforcement, will often likely have very limited uses in current mason construction. Even though this type of wall can be quite cost effective in certain applications, their vulnerability to collapse is a major concern, therefore they are a seldom chosen alternative for our clients and general contractors in Houston. As a result, solid un-reinforced masonry walls are usually low and wide.
