When it comes to masonry, there are plenty of amazing facts about this sturdy, long-lasting material, and plenty of fiction, too! To separate the myths from what’s actually true about masonry, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best truths and lies: Fact! Masonry is fire resistant: in fact, masonry offers the best fire resistance of any building material, and this is because it doesn’t burn, melt or bend. Don’t believe it? Check out the premiums for insurance on a masonry building and its content. Whether it’s your business or your home, a fire-resistant material is always going to give you, and the building, the very best protection against the devastating impact of a fire.
Fiction! Masonry construction is sloooooooow: actually, when you use a professional masonry contractor, masonry systems are a much quicker process, and as soon as you decide to begin a building protection, it can begin! With no time spent poring over shop drawings, or wasted waiting for off-site fabrication, if footings take a day, the brick and block can be locally sourced and being laid down the very next day.
Fact! Masonry saves on maintenance costs: because it doesn’t rust, shatter, dent, buckle, warp or rot, masonry never needs to be cleaned or repainted. Even if a heavy object or vehicle topples into the masonry wall, it won’t crack or crumble, making it an extremely durable and low maintenance material for any building. Fiction! Weather extremes can affect masonry: this popular myth has been officially debunked thanks to updated all-weather practices like the All-Weather Council’s “Recommended Practices and Guide Specifications for Cold Weather Masonry Construction”. Nowadays, a reputable masonry contractor can continue with his work whatever the weather.
Fact! Masonry can help keep the momentum of a job: there until the project is in its final phase, masonry contractors add a kind of momentum that is often lacking in other types of construction projects, when various tradespeople involved, frequently come and go. And a project wit momentum, is far more likely to be finished on time, if not early! Fact! Masonry projects promote continuity: because masonry contractors are always on site, working on the project, they get a much better feel for it and can avoid making mistakes, or quickly correct them without causing any delay to the build.
Overall, masonry constructions guarantee you exactly the kind of building you had expected, and wanted, and this is mainly due to the continuity mentioned in the very last fact above. When you work with a professional masonry contractor, your building will be customized and competitively priced, and constructed using local people and local materials. So, get your facts about masonry right, before you listen to the myths!
