What are masonry systems?

A masonry system is like the building blocks you use to make a really strong and lasting house, just like when you stack your favorite LEGO bricks.

Imagine you're playing with blocks in the sandbox, and each time you add a new layer of blocks, it gets bigger and stronger. That’s what a masonry system does, but instead of sand and plastic blocks, it uses real materials like bricks, stones, or concrete.

A masonry system is made up of different types of blocks (like bricks), and they’re held together with special kinds of glue, not the kind you use at home, but something called mortar. This makes everything stick together really well, so your house doesn’t fall apart when it rains or when there’s a big wind.

These systems are super strong and can last for many years. They’re used to build walls, floors, and even whole buildings, just like the bricks you use in your LEGO castle, but much bigger!

So next time you see a brick wall, think of it as a giant LEGO structure made by someone who knows how to stack blocks really well!
