Additionally, you need a good, solid foundation for a brick wall, which is even heavier work, because it entails mixing structural concrete. The foundation must also be constructed to the correct dimensions for the width and height of the wall it is going to support.
Bricklaying skills are also essential when building brick walls. All brick structures should be straight, level, and square, and a number of specialized tools are required including a spirit level and square, various trowels, mallets, hammers, chisels, bolsters, and lines and pegs. While the skills can be learned, bricklaying doesn’t fit into the realm of most do-it-yourselfers.
But all this changes if you are building a brick wall with Native Custom Stone Go-Brick.
Brick Walls Built With Revolutionary Go-Brick
Go-Brick is a lightweight brick veneer that will make any vertical surface look just like a solid brick wall. Many professional bricklayers and masons work with the product, but it is also ideal for do-it-yourselfers wanting to transform internal or external walls.
The beauty of this product is that it doesn’t require any type of foundation or structural support and installation is quick and easy. While the lightweight brick units must be installed so that they are flat, level, and plumb, all you need is a chalk line to mark the position of each row.
Go-Brick tumbled brick units are 2¼ inches high and 75/8 long, and they are about a ½ inch in thickness. A gap of 3/8 inch should be left to form a mortar joint between each brick.
Packs of brick flats contain 58 pieces that are enough to cover 8½ square feet. Corner pieces are packed per linear foot with 10 linear feet in each box. Window sills pieces are also available. These measure 18 x 2 x 33/8 inches.
