Perhaps there is no such person who wouldI did not dream of building my house. The most traditional material, which is chosen by more than half of the developers, is brick. Often manufacturers indicate the mass of cubic meters of bricks, but knowing the weight of one stone, it is easy to calculate how many bricks are in the cube.
If the funds allow you not to save, then the house inclassic style, reliable and warm, built of good brick, will serve its owners for several centuries. In addition, brickwork with properly made jointing is in itself an excellent facing material.
The first thing is mathematics
Before you make a dream come true, andthe fantasies captured in the project will become reality, you need to get an answer to the question about the number of necessary building materials. That is, take a pen and do simple mathematical calculations. So how many bricks are in 1 cube? And how many cubes to buy for building a house?
Before starting calculations, determine which brickwill be used (single, double, one-and-a-half), since each of them has its advantages as well as certain disadvantages. For example, a single brick is more convenient to hold in the hand when laying, and using a double, you can reduce the time of building a wall in half and save the amount of solution. The size depends on how much brick in the cube, and how much solution will eventually need.
The next stage, very important for calculating the number of bricks, is the masonry width (one brick, one and a half, two, two and a half). The thicker the wall, the warmer the house will be.
Features of brickwork of external walls
Traditionally for the erection of external wallsapply a brickwork in one and a half bricks, which equals 380 mm. The installation of a square meter of this wall will require 189 single bricks, without taking into account the seams. Although many builders recommend adding 1 cm to the seam, you can also consider a clean brick, because it has to be bought with a certain margin (in case of a fight). If the wall is erected from a block brick, then it will take 140 pieces, and if from a double, then 90. At the same time, one can calculate how many bricks are in the cube and how many cubes should be ordered.
If the developer wants to have a warmer house,which will not need to be further insulated, then you need to build a wall in two bricks. The thickness of two and a half bricks will suit those who have planned to apply facing brick for outdoor coating.
To build a house, this building material is bought by thousands of pieces, so you need to know how many bricks in the cube and how many cubes in a thousand bricks.
According to calculations, for laying a square meter of a wall in two single bricks you need 256 pieces, one and a half - 156, and a double one - 120. The thickness of this wall is 510 mm.
The erection of internal walls and partitions
For the erection of internal walls and partitions more oftenuse masonry in half a brick. The width of one is 125 mm and, accordingly, the installation of a square meter requires single bricks 61, sesquistas - 45, double - 30 pieces. At the same time, many prefer to use silica brick, because it is lighter. We consider how many silicate bricks in the cube: 61 x 8 = 488 pieces.
I would like to draw the attention of developers thatDouble bricks are required exactly twice less in quantity, while the price for it is higher than for single bricks, about 30% per cent. In addition, the solution and the time for laying are significantly saved.
The economy is obvious.
