Seven Masonry Facts

Starting a new construction project can not only be exciting, but also a bit overwhelming. If you are looking to create something that is sturdy and cost-effective— consider hiring a mason! Masonry work is not only durable, but it is also unique.  So when it comes time to build, here are seven masonry facts, which show just why masonry work has stood the test of time:

1. A Huge Part of History. Masonry is part of some of the greatest architecture and structures around the world and is a skill that has been around for over 6,000 years.

2. More Creativity and Design. With options such as stone, clay bricks, and concrete, the design combinations to choose from are limitless, making your new construction a piece of art.

3. Recycled and Ecofriendly.  Whether you are using stone, that is made with natural ingredients and requires less upkeep.

4. No Decay or Rot. With no wood, the chance of any fungus or mildew buildup is significantly reduced.

5. Less Maintenance.  There is no need to worry about rust, termites, buckles, or repainting. When you choose to go with masonry, you are choosing a more sturdy, low maintenance option.

6. Fire Resistant.  Bricks are fire proof. They will not melt, burn or become misshapen in any way.

7. Can Never Be Replaced By a Machine. Masonry is a trade that takes skill. Every stone or brick must be laid by hand. A Mason is trained to read blueprints, understand building codes and is knowledgeable in the different patterns and textures used to create custom styles that can never be replaced by a machine.
