Sisämuuraukset

Sisämuuraukset refers to interior masonry work in construction. This typically involves building walls and other structural or decorative elements using masonry units such as bricks, concrete blocks, or natural stones inside a building. These constructions can serve various purposes, including load-bearing walls that support floors and roofs, non-load-bearing partition walls that divide spaces, or decorative features that add aesthetic appeal to interiors.

The materials used for sisämuuraukset are chosen based on their structural requirements, fire resistance, sound insulation properties, and desired appearance. Common materials include clay bricks, aerated concrete blocks (harkkoseinä), lightweight concrete blocks, and stone. The construction process involves laying these units with mortar, which binds them together and fills the gaps. The type of mortar used depends on the masonry unit and the intended application.

Sisämuuraukset contribute significantly to a building's thermal mass, helping to regulate internal temperatures by absorbing and releasing heat slowly. They also provide excellent sound insulation, which is crucial for creating quiet living or working environments. Furthermore, masonry walls are inherently fire-resistant, enhancing the overall safety of the building. In modern construction, sisämuuraukset are often combined with other building systems, such as insulation and finishes, to achieve optimal performance. The aesthetic possibilities are also broad, with exposed masonry often used as a design element.
