Brick masonry of the partition is also made as masonry for walls during buildings, but there are subtleties. Put the brickwork on the solution of lime or cement-license. Use silicate or red brick.
Such a partition should have a strong base, because it weighs a lot. Be sure to reinforce the partition. Horizontally – every 5 rows, vertically – through all heights. Drive the ends of the reinforcement into the supporting structures, for this it is first necessary to make holes.
If you plan to make doorways in the partition, then the door frame should be placed before laying a brick partition. The openings between the partition and the door frame should be blocked by platbands. Usually there is a small distance between the ceiling and the upper part of the brickwork. This distance must be sealed with a special solution. Be sure to add broken brick to the solution. Usually the partition is laid out either half or a quarter of brick.
