Idea Number 1 – Repair Existing Walls or Build New Ones
Repairing old brick walls or building new ones is a common requirement in a commercial restoration. Offices, retail spaces, warehouses, factories, and more often require brick walls to be rebuilt or new walls to be constructed. Read our post entitled, “How To Repair Damaged Stonework In Kitchener – Waterloo” to find out more about the steps involved.
Idea Number 2 – Repoint Your Brickwork
Repointing is a professional skill that stone masons specialize in. Many commercial projects involve repointing as it is a form of preventative maintenance. Repointing involves removing and replacing the mortar between bricks and stone and should not be attempted by an amateur.
Idea Number 3 – Window Replacement Brickwork
Often a commercial restoration project involves replacing windows or removing them entirely. Replacement windows are frequently a different size than those that they are replacing. This can mean that significant brickwork is required in order to leave the sills and window frames flush with the existing brick. On other occasions, the property owner requires a former window to be entirely bricked over. To prevent possible leaks and weather damage, it is best to hire a professional stonemason to carry out this kind of project.
Idea Number 4 – Door Replacement Brickwork
This type of work is similar to the window replacement brickwork discussed in the previous paragraph. Here too, doors are often bricked over, enlarged, or decreased in size, necessitating brickwork to be carried out around the frames.
Idea Number 5 – Build a Project Using Concrete Block
Concrete blocks are a great building material and suitable for restoration projects and addition. They are durable, strong, adaptable, and relatively inexpensive, thus, they are the material of choice for many building projects. Whether you are building a plaza, garage, warehouse, or office building, concrete blocks are up to the task. Contact us if you are planning an extension, repair, or have a new building in mind.
