Boveda Ceilings / which bricks
Which bricks are typically used for boveda ceilings?
There's the large low-fire brick typical construction brick, and then a smaller brick that looks like it is a higher-fired brick - cleaner looking??
Thanks .....

Go for the latter. It is much more durable, easier to sweep clean without 'shedding red dust', and definitely more attractive.

that was my reaction as well .... the big stuff looks like it is ready to disintegrate ....
I've now checked a few houses all of which have the small brick ceilings.
Anyone else ... comments?

Ours were done with the smaller bricks in a herringbone pattern in our new porch. Much cleaner to start with and keeping them clean is simple.

He uses the same type of pattern in the big barrel ceilings as well.

I believe there is a special brick for bovedas, at the base only, called pigeon beak, or something like that.
