Users of bricklaying tools might want to make sure they are familiar with industry jargon before starting work on a site.

Builders were advised by HouseProfessionals.com that there is a lot of specialist terminology surrounding bricklaying.

Bonding was flagged up as one common term, as it refers to the pattern of bricks or how new walls are joined together.

HouseProfessionals.com also noted that specialist jargon also applies to relatively small areas, such as bats.

This is a word that describes either deliberately cut bricks or broken bricks that are used to fill in where necessary.

HouseProfessionals.com added that quoins is another term widely used in the bricklaying sector.

The word refers to the right angle corners of brickwork that develop at the start of a building project to create the brick lines and courses.

This comes after the Rustic Girls website stated that bricklaying is like any other skilled craft in that it comes with lots of specialist terminology.
