Question
Answer
show A traditional cavity wall is usually built using facing bricks for the outer leaf, lightweight blocks for the inner leaf, and insulation placed within the cavity.  
🗑
show The damp-proof course should be positioned at a minimum of two brick courses above the external ground level to effectively prevent moisture ingress.  
🗑
What is meant by a partial-fill cavity wall?   show
🗑
show Elevation drawings are used to show the location and dimensions of windows and doors on the external faces of a building.  
🗑
show Wall ties are used to connect the two leaves of a cavity wall, ensuring structural stability and even load distribution.  
🗑
show Airbricks are installed at regular intervals along the external walls to ventilate the space beneath a suspended floor, helping to prevent moisture buildup and timber decay.  
🗑
show Weep holes are placed above these openings to allow any moisture that has entered the cavity to drain out, thus preventing water accumulation and potential damage.  
🗑
show Trench blocks are suitable for below-ground applications, particularly in foundations, due to their durability and load-bearing capacity.  
🗑
show A scutch hammer is commonly used to neatly trim or shape bricks by chipping away material with precision.  
🗑
What device is used to secure a bricklayer’s line to a wall for accurate alignment?   show
🗑
show A brick hammer is designed specifically for roughly splitting or cutting bricks during the laying process.  
🗑
show Mortar is typically transported using a wheelbarrow, which allows for efficient handling and mobility.  
🗑
show A straight edge and level are used together to accurately transfer height measurements across wall sections and ensure level alignment.  
🗑
How can uniformed finish avoidance of banding of brickwork appearance be prevented?   show
🗑
show A masonry saw is the preferred tool for cutting lightweight blocks, offering the power and blade type necessary for clean and accurate cuts.  
🗑
Where should cavity trays and weep holes be installed in wall construction?   show
🗑
What is the intended purpose of a weep hole in a cavity wall?   show
🗑
show The project specification should be referred to for detailed instructions on the positioning and installation of wall ties, ensuring structural stability and compliance with building standards.  
🗑
show The use of gauging ensures that bricks and blocks are laid at consistent levels, helping to maintain uniformity and accuracy throughout the build.  
🗑
show Gauging is used to precisely measure the quantities of each material in a mortar mix, which is essential for ensuring consistency and strength in the finished product.
