Tegelvägg

Tegelvägg refers to a wall constructed from bricks. This building technique has been used for centuries and remains popular in many parts of the world due to its durability, aesthetic appeal, and fire resistance. Bricks are typically made from clay, which is molded and then fired in a kiln. The size and shape of bricks can vary, influencing the overall appearance of the wall. Mortar, a mixture of cement, sand, and water, is used to bind the bricks together, creating a strong and stable structure. The pattern in which bricks are laid is known as the bond, with common examples including stretcher bond, English bond, and Flemish bond. Each bond offers different visual characteristics and structural properties. Tegelvägg can be load-bearing, meaning it supports the weight of the building above it, or it can be a non-load-bearing partition wall. Maintenance often involves repointing mortar joints as they weather over time. The natural variations in brick color and texture contribute to the distinctive look of a tegelvägg, often associated with traditional architecture.
