The construction of
walls, made of ceramic hollow blocks, will run quickly and without any problems
if we use appropriate tools to process them
Ceramic blocks are a
material with a characteristic structure - fired from clay, with the addition
of wood flour or sawdust, distinguished by a porous structure and a slotted
structure, with an internal arrangement of drills. Ceramic blocks, it is a willingly
chosen material for building a house - properly selected, provide good thermal
and acoustic insulation. They
are, unfortunately, quite fragile, so they require the use of appropriate tools
for processing.
How to cut ceramic
blocks?
Sometimes, building a
house with ceramic hollow blocks requires cutting the material. Then, it is best to reach for a
chainsaw, an alligator with electric drive or, if we have the option, use a
table saw with a diamond disc. Before
cutting ceramic hollow bricks, pay attention to the type of blade or blades
used in the machine - they should be designed for cutting ceramic hollow
bricks. For making holes, in
order to guide the installation in the walls of ceramic hollow bricks, they are
used for furrowers.
Anchors and drill bits
for ceramic hollow bricks
In the finished wall of
ceramic airbricks, you can make holes, for example under electrical boxes. In this case, a drill or a drill with
a crown drill will be useful. When
making holes in the walls, ceramic hollow bricks, it is not recommended to use
power tools with a stroke, because they could cause damage to the inner walls
of the blocks and reduce the load capacity of the material.
For small and medium
loads, the use of universal expansion anchors (eg HRD) will be sufficient. They can be used for the assembly of
door and window frames, in the walls of ceramic hollow bricks, fixing of façade
elements, shelves and cabinets. A
good solution for ceramic hollow bricks is the use of chemical anchors. They can be used, among others for attaching shelves or elements
hanging on the wall.
