Product recommendations for bricklayers and masons
Being a bricklayer or a mason is a physically demanding job, but the work you do can last a lifetime. However, it's essential to take care of yourself to avoid long-lasting damage. Here are some tips to prevent common problems.
Wet work and abrasive work
The mortar and stone are wet, and the work can be abrasive on your hands. To protect your hands from moisture in the mortar and abrasive surfaces, use dry, clean protective gloves. Additionally, consider using hand cream to keep your hands moisturised and healthy.
Physical strain
Bricklaying and masonry can be tough on your body, so it's important to take care of yourself. Try to maintain a good posture while working and take frequent breaks to move around and stretch. Choosing the right safety shoes can also help reduce the risk of injury. See our recommended models below.
