After the contractor completes the installation of the wood for the ceiling and all carpentry work related to the ceiling according to the approved plan for the project, taking into account the thickness of the ceiling slab, the ceiling is cleaned well and all pieces of wood are removed, especially in the places of fallen bridges, in this episode we will address the steps of implementing «horde» ceilings.

At the same time, the contractor determines the required amount of horde.

At the same time the contractor determines the required amount of horde, there are several types of horde, which are first: Horde cement tiles are used when you want to make the roofs of the ceilings and are characterized by their heavy weight, secondly: Red horde bricks are also used when you want to make the lining for the roofs and is characterized by its light weight compared to cement horde, and third: horde polystyrene (cork) is used when you want to install borrowed roofs and the lining cannot be made on the cork, as the cohesion of the lining with the cork is weak, which exposes it to fall, God forbid, and (cork) is characterized by light weight and easy handling when installing on site.

The electrician determines the electricity points on the roof according to the electrical plan of the project, in the event that there are openings for air conditioning in the roof, whether central air conditioning or desert air conditioning, the air conditioning company shall determine the air conditioning openings on the roof with the placement of the wooden box for these openings, knowing that the air conditioning plan is prepared and approved in advance in accordance with the construction and architectural plan of the project, in the event that there is a kitchen chimney or fireplace, they are also determined.

When there is a difference between the structural and architectural plans, the contractor must stop and refer to the design office, as well as when the air conditioning vents conflict with the structural plan, the designer or the air conditioning company is also referred to the designer or the air conditioning company.

When completing the work of the falling bridges as well as the main bridges, the contractor must emphasize the need to raise the rebar from the roof well, using cement pieces prepared on site or using tiles, after that the roof is cleaned well and then supply the horde block and place it directly on the roof for the contractor to install the horde according to the plan.

The contractor shall stop and consult the design office.

When horde (cork) is used for the roof of the building and when there are protrusions in the front of the building or any other parts of the roof that will be plastered, cement horde blocks or red bricks should be used in these parts.

When the horde is completed, the rebar for the nerves that connect the main bridges to each other is started, then the rebar is spread on top of the horde and covers it according to the approved plan for the project.
