So, what exactly is included in “masonry construction”?
Brick Masonry Construction
This is pretty straight forward, burnt clay bricks are the main material used in this sort of masonry construction. There are three classes of bricks, first-class bricks being the go-to for brick masonry construction, second-class bricks are used for masonry construction that will be plastered, and third-class bricks are used for “less important” masonry construction.
Stone Masonry Construction
Stone is going to be the strongest and most weather-resistant material for masonry construction. Stone masonry has a lifetime for 300+ years. It will wear down over time, but generally is very durable. If you think about the ancient structure Stonehenge, it’s been around for over 5,000 years, so you can understand why stone masonry is so common. Rubble and ashlar are the two main classifications of stone masonry.
Concrete Masonry Construction
Concrete blocks are stacked on top of each other in a staggered pattern, much like brick masonry, except the concrete blocks are larger. Concrete masonry is usually faster than brick masonry due to the size of the concrete blocks and concrete itself is a more affordable option. The concrete blocks can come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors as well, which makes them very popular for people who have a specific look in mind.
Veneer Masonry Construction
Veneer masonry is most often used in remodeling, as it can be placed over existing concrete walls to give the look of brick or stone.
Composite Masonry Construction
This is when multiple types of materials are used in masonry construction. That can be just to utilize whatever materials are currently available, or to give a more distinguished appearance.
