The base is a special part of the base of the house, which protrudes a little above the ground. It is designed to protect the house from various negative factors from the soil. However, it usually does not have an attractive appearance, so the owners of various private houses are thinking about performing its decoration. Different materials can be used for this, but the most popular brick is considered to be the most popular.
Brick use parameters for basement cladding
The following positive characteristics of the application of this material for the basement can be distinguished:
Any house with such a decoration will be bright and attractive, since the brick is suitable for absolutely any structure;
high -quality brick cladding will protect the entire structure below mold and fungus, as well as from numerous other negative effects;
If you approach this issue correctly, then you can even create a high -quality and reliable protection of the base from the flood;
Brick cladding has excellent thermal insulation parameters;
A coating is created, which is good for good stability before the fire;
the base is protected from all kinds of mechanical factors;
the operational period of the structure itself is increasing.
Preparation before facing work
Initially, you need to concentrate at certain preparatory stages. The following recommendations and rules are taken into account here:
The work should be carried out only after the year of operation of the structure itself, since it is during this period of time that the construction will give the necessary shrinkage, so in the future it will be possible not to worry about the integrity of the created cladding;
A high -quality ventilation system should be formed, which usually consists in small holes and ventilation gaps located around the entire perimeter of the base opposite each other;
If there is a basement, which is used for any purpose, it is advisable to produce simultaneously with the decoration and insulation of the basement, for which high-quality and suitable thermal insulation materials are used in all respects;
Before starting work, the base must be completely cleaned of the existing dirt or dust layer;
It is important to make sure that there are completely no cracks, potholes, significant irregularities or other problems on the surfaces, but if they are available, you need to quickly and correctly eliminate them with special construction compositions;
A blind area is created along the perimeter of the entire structure, which will create an obstacle to the penetration of water from the soil to the foundation of the house;
Then it is important to engage in the formation of a high -quality waterproofing layer, for which bitumen is usually used in a hot state, which is applied to all surfaces with suitable tools, and you can also use roofing material, which covers the entire upper part of the base, and the joints are carefully glued with tape;
If necessary, a thermal insulation layer is created, and here a foam is considered an excellent choice that is ideal for operation on the street, which has good stability before moisture, as well as having affordable cost and low weight;
The resulting surface is covered with a primer, after the drying of which is applied, a layer of plaster is applied.
As soon as all the preparatory stages are implemented, you can proceed to the cladding itself.
Brick cladding technology with brick
After preparation, direct work with brick begins. The following actions are implemented for this:
It is important to make sure that the surface of the base is perfectly flat, and especially much attention should be paid to the corners, since in the presence of defects and bumps, it may be necessary to cut facing brick in accordance with the rules for its styling on the surface;
It is decided which method of laying the material will be used, and with independent performance and lack of experience, the traditional styling method is considered the optimal solution;
Next, a solution is created for the installation of facing brick, and it consists of cement and sand, and this composition is mixed with a suitable amount of water in order to achieve an ideal consistency and homogeneity;
The masonry begins from the bottom up, and in each fourth row it is necessary to strain the corners, and it is also important to strengthen the masonry, for which strips made of metal are used, and these works ensure the receipt of durable and durable coating;
For a warm basement, you can use well masonry, which suggests that after one row of brick, a thermal insulation layer is laid, after which brickwork continues.
Thus, if you fulfill all the stages of cladding in accordance with all the requirements and rules, use only high -quality materials and suitable tools, you can get a high -quality and durable protective basement. All work is easily implemented on their own, you do not have to spend a lot of money on these purposes, as a result, a beautiful and exquisite cladding is obtained, which will be stable before fire, mechanical influences or other factors. The service life will be long, as well as using such a coating, you can get an insulated base.
