Q: What kind of bricks do you need for a brick oven?

• <div><p>Use fire bricks for a brick pizza oven. These bricks are typically used for fireplaces and chimneys as they can withstand high temperatures from heat sources. If you attempt to use any other kind of bricks, it&rsquo;s likely that this material will crack from such high heat exposure in the best case&mdash;and potentially explode and cause serious harm in the worst case. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth keeping old bricks?

• <div><p>If your old bricks are in decent condition and you have the space to store them where they&rsquo;ll be protected from the elements, keeping old bricks is often worthwhile. You&rsquo;d spend anywhere from $70 to a few hundred dollars to have them removed from your property, in which case you won&rsquo;t be able to use them for future projects. Holding on to old bricks in good condition means you can use them later for other DIY projects, potentially saving yourself some money on disposal and new materials down the road.</p></div>

Q: Does an outdoor fireplace need fire bricks?

• <div><p>Yes, an outdoor fireplace should use fire bricks. Fire bricks are specially designed to withstand high levels of heat and thus won&rsquo;t crack as easily as regular bricks when exposed to the intense heat inside a fireplace. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime or seal a brick fireplace before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, it is essential to prime or seal a brick fireplace before painting. Brick is a porous and highly absorbent material, so without a primer, paint can seep into the surface, resulting in uneven coverage and allowing the natural brick color to show through. To avoid this, apply one or two coats of a masonry primer. The primer will seal the brick and provide a smooth, uniform layer for the paint to adhere to. Ensure the primer is completely dry before applying the topcoat of paint.</p></div>

Q: Are brick houses safer in an earthquake?

• <div><p>According to the <a href="https://www.earthquakecountry.org/step4/urmwalls/#:~:text=Houses%20built%20of%20unreinforced%20masonry,and%20the%20roof%20is%20critical.">Earthquake Country Alliance</a>&mdash;a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness&mdash;reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn&rsquo;t as stable as other building materials and methods.</p></div>

"I would highly recommend JCT solutions. We had a room replastered and a new attic access installed. JCT were great at communicating from the beginning and throughout the project. Mark is professional and they are reasonably priced. The plastering team were efficient, worked well together and cleaned up after the project was completed. We are really happy with the end result and would work with Mark and JCT solutions again! Thank you for making our spare room usable again!!"
