New facade materials with the texture of a brick and their cost

In this article I talked about facade materials, simulating masonry:

It is, in fact shingles to frame houses. The stone houses of this facade will not pass water vapor, for walls are bad. And it is difficult to mount on a brick, concrete and the walls of the other blocks.

Not so long ago there was a similar facade material that imitates the brickwork, but it can already be mounted on a stone wall - "brick on the grid":

This material is made of a flexible stone technology. The acrylic layer with a layer of granite chips. Or just zakolerovanny Acrylic Stone. Analog bitumen shingles, only more environmentally friendly and durable material that can be used in the interiors.

If you do not know what it is made from the front, it can be mistaken for a very high quality finish with bricks. How could this have caused the grid with decorative tiles on the facade? It is on the facade wall pasted is such a grid with flexible elements to the size of a brick. Texture and color of a flexible stone can be different. It all depends on the manufacturer's product line range. There's even a cover with a large stone grit, a washed concrete. This type of "brick" look, in my opinion, even better

Seams in contrast with the tile. The distinctive facade. The surface of the wall of the house is breathing through the seams (water vapor transmission rate is maintained).

Characteristics and price grid with a flexible brick and its price. It is an adequate option, replacing the traditional brick and siding

mounting process is simple: the wall is applied to the plaster (adhesive) pasted grid, rubbing seams. After 48 hours, unstuck protective film of each element.

Video editing technology. Everything is simple and clear. Apply a layer of tile adhesive or plaster, mesh attached, smeared seams. After drying the removed film with decorative cover elements.

Some manufacturers of tiles on a grid without a protective film. Seams between this accounts for a very long time and carefully cover up. And it is likely to stain the tiles. To work with such extremely uncomfortable. Probably, this is the initial level of production of such material.

Next, finishing, wall and facade material - a hyperpressed brick

This material was invented in 1950. In Russia, it has become known since 1986. But due to the unproven technology and formulations was low strength. Mainly used as the facing material. The color scheme - depending on the added pigment. Brick pressed under a pressure of 300 kg per 1 cm2, acquiring necessary strength characteristics.

Features depend on the filler. The composition of the artificial stone: fine gravel, limestone, shell rock, sand, marble chips, Stipa, blast furnace slag, marl and some pigment. A svyazuyusche - cement. Frost adding slag may be low. Check the figures from the manufacturers in the test reports.

So he looked at the front brickwork. Beautiful replacing the classic brick on the facade. Only when laying need to be tinted, and the solution.

It can be folded up and the fence of the bricks in different colors and shades. This brick has a grain structure and texture "a fragmentary stone" for the fence is ideal. And what about its price?

Price for both quality bricks

Videos about how to make the bricks (but I still would have called it blocks). Production base - mixing hopper and press.
