Thin joint masonry
Thin bricklaying is both trendy and traditional at the same time.
Thin brick laying is a technique used in building brick walls. A minimal amount of mortar is used to bond the stones together. The process of thin bricklaying is somewhere between a traditional masonry and tiling. When laying thin bricks you choose a thin joint, but in terms of processing this tends more towards a traditional mortar. The reasons behind choosing thin brickwork can be both aesthetic and functional. Aesthetically, thin brickwork gives a sleek appearance to the wall, where the bricks are clearly visible, and the joints are thin. This provides a modern and minimalist look to the wall. In addition, thin brickwork can ensure that the structure of the bricks comes into its own, giving the wall an authentic look.
