How are brick and natural stones typically installed?

Brick and natural stones are typically installed on structural support such as a foundation ledge or on a lintel. This method ensures that the heavy materials have a solid base to rest upon, distributing their weight effectively and providing stability to the installation.

Using a foundation ledge or lintel provides the necessary strength to carry the load of the bricks or stones, helping to prevent issues like cracking or shifting over time. The structural integrity is crucial, especially for taller walls or for installations that will bear additional loads.

Other methods, such as relying solely on adhesive strength, hanging from a framework, or directly attaching to drywall, do not provide the necessary structural support and stability required for masonry installations. These methods may lead to structural failures, inadequate support, or issues with the longevity of the installation, making them unsuitable for brick and stone work.
