Bricks are energy-efficient because their density insulates buildings from heat and cold. Brickwork construction creates a warm indoor atmosphere year-round, reducing utility expenditures by reducing air conditioning and heating use.
Bricklayers work involves mortar bricks, pre-cut stone, and concrete blocks. They build, extend, and repair homes, businesses, foundations, walls, chimneys, and decorative masonry.
Possessing strong physical abilities, such as stamina and hand-eye coordination is crucial. In addition to being well-organized and proficient with both hand and power equipment, prospective bricklayers must also be good at mathematics to measure and mix materials appropriately.
When working with brick, a trowel is the single most useful instrument. During the laying of bricks, masons will use them to spread mortar or plaster. The blade of this compact hand tool is flat and can be anywhere from five to twelve inches in length.
