Did you know that masonry will actually protect a building from fire? It’s true! Masonry is a non-combustible product and the brick, mortar, and stone can increase the thermal mass of a building, which makes it harder to catch fire.
Setting the timeline for outdoor masonry work can be tricky, especially at certain times of the year. Local weather patterns can cause delays over which we have no control.
Masonry has long been viewed as a noble craft and masons were once called "master stonemen." In fact, to become a mason in Medieval times one had to be part of a stonemason's guild and complete a rigorous 7-year apprenticeship.
Did you know that the Bible provides an early written documentation of brick production? In Exodus, the Bible details the story of the Israelites, enslaved to make bricks for their Egyptian rulers.
Architects choose masonry for its durability as well as its beauty. In fact, masonry can and has lasted for thousands of years. Brick, which is made of clay and shale, is the heart of masonry and has been used for millennia because it can withstand the elements like no other material.
