What are the advantages and disadvantages of blocking bricks?

Interlocking brick tiles can add high aesthetic value to the house. These tiles are easy to install and are often used by homeowners do-it-yourself. They are strong and considered very weather resistant, but are also easily replaced if they are damaged. Nevertheless, the tiles can also be problematic due to the growth of weeds between the bricks and the erosion of the sand between the joints.

The type of surface of the earth, which is often used in terraces, corridors and driveways, is connected to brick tiles to fit or interconnect, with neighboring bricks, allowing the tiles to form. The connected tiles are also available in stone and concrete. The installation of interconnected bricks is considered an easy work, which can usually be completed by the willing owner of the house than the supplier. The required area to be paved is dug into the depth of the tiles, then a layer of gravel and sand is placed on the surface and bricks are located at the top. Sand Juns pDrive into the gaps between the bricks for stability.

Many homeowners decided to install blocking brick tiles due to their low long -term maintenance requirements. The tiles can be easily clean if they get dirty, and since most tiles come pre -fastened, after installation it is rarely necessary to seal. Another advantage of brick tiles is that when one bursts or breaks, it can be easily removed and replaced with a new brick. This is one of the factor that many claims make the tiles better than concrete, because the cracked concrete cannot be so easy and smooth.

The weather and strength of the weather are two advantages of blocking bricks. Because the gaps in these bricks are full of sand, they have a certain level of flexibility. It is natural that the tiles are expanding and downloading during temperature or humidity changes. Sand surrounding bricks allows them to move freely as needed and avoid prack. The sand between bricks also gives bricks more power and stability and creates a more reliable surface.

One problem with which the blocking brick tiles face is that, since the gaps between the bricks are more of the font than a solid filler, there is a potential for weeds between the joints to grow. There is also a possibility that joint sand can wear from regular use or because of wind erosion. Both problems can be corrected by stabilizing joints by adding more sand or adding a layer of sealing joints.
