In this article I want to talk about the most popular building materials. The areas of their use are a very large number, but separately we will talk about the materials for the construction of the house. The most popular at the moment is, of course, drywall and wallpaper for walls. Ceramic tiles are universal material, since it is used to cover the floor in the bath and on the street, and in general anywhere. Also for this purpose there is parquet and linoleum, which differ in the life and appearance. Stretch ceilings that are installed to smooth the surface are very popular. But my article would be inferior if I had not remembered the brick. Yes, yes, this is the same material without which the house is generally impossible to build. It still remains relevant, although it is gradually replaced by blocks and concrete slabs from the construction market. Brick has high heat and sound insulation, resistant to biological and atmospheric influences, has a high heat capacity. We love the designers and architects who use it to embody their crazy creative ideas in construction. There are two types of bricks – silicate and clay (ceramic). Silicate brick has a higher density and strength than a clay. Persistent material against wind, frost, water, earthquakes, temperature changes and pressure. Among its minuses can be called waterwork. And clay (ceramic) brick known since ancient times. It is made in two ways – plastic molding and semi -dry pressing. Plastic brick is formed from clay by an extruder (this is such a machine for giving a form to materials). After this procedure, the clay is dried and then burned in the furnace. Formers are made from wet clay-raw cloth, and then burned in the furnace again. Such a brick is best used in the construction of the internal partitions of buildings, but not in the construction of the basements of buildings, fences, since this type of brick may deteriorate from humidity over time. It is nice to live in the house only when it looks beautiful and comfortable, as well as building materials that are applicable for its construction, they are safe for and keep warmth well. After all, the house is the focus of the family, and its construction should be approached wisely and prudence.
