Get Professional Masonry/Bricklaying Services in Peterborough

Masonry is a highly durable form of construction involving bricks, stone and other materials being bound together by mortar. Brick and concrete blocks are the most common materials used in modern masonry construction, and provide a wide range of possibilities. Concrete blocks also provide great compressive strength, and filling some or all of the cores with concrete or steel reinforcement can add even more tensile and lateral strength to structures.

 

Advantages of Masonry

• Bricks, stone and other masonry materials can protect the building from fire
• No need to paint structures
• Masonry structures are more resistant to weather than some other constructions
• Lime mortar has a significantly longer life-span than steel or reinforced concrete structures
