A Little Wisdom Helps You Become Smarter !
Key Bricklaying Techniques

1. Line Setting (Guideline Installation)
First, build “reference bricks” (also known as “course rods”) at both ends of the wall. Then, stretch a taut line between these reference bricks at the same height.
During bricklaying, the edges or corners of each brick should be aligned tightly against this guideline to ensure consistent height and levelness for every course.

2. Mortar Application
Use a trowel to spread mortar evenly onto the brick bed. The mortar layer should be uniform in thickness—typically 10–12 mm—to ensure strong, cohesive bonding between bricks and form a solid structural unit.

3. Brick Placement
Gently place each brick onto the mortar bed, pressing down slightly by hand to align it with the guideline. Then, lightly tap the brick with the side of the trowel to fine-tune its position for accuracy.

Equally important is staggered jointing (also called “bonding”): vertical mortar joints between successive courses must be offset. This interlocking pattern significantly enhances the wall’s overall strength and stability.
