The walls

porous concrete walls

When carrying out small masonry work such as building a wall, plastering or replacing a tile, one must take into account its manual skills and the time we have available.

When we have the feeling that the work we are about is above our ability it is advisable to ask for help from a professional.

Otherwise you will find here a small judge for the most frequent cases that may arise.

Bricks wall

Porous concrete is suggested as a material for the construction of this type of wall. Which is not only light but also simple to work; in fact, porous concrete can be easily cut with a saw.

Before erecting a wall, it is necessary to remove the old floor covering and the bottom must be made solid and uniform.

Then lay the bricks (offset from each other) and remember to always check with the spirit level that the wall is well vertical and horizontal (also help with a rope for tracing). Every two rows of bricks need to insert a fastening hook in the adjacent walls, so that the new partition can be solid and durable.
