2. Key Benefits

Benefit
Project Advantage
Thermal & Acoustic Mass
Clay’s natural mass moderates heat gain; cement bricks dampen noise up to 50 dB.
Fire Resistance ≥ 2 h
Meets UBBL fire-rating for party walls & stair cores.
Dimensional Accuracy ± 1 mm
Less plaster thickness, straighter walls, lower finishing cost.
High Water Absorption Control
< 16 % for clay, < 10 % for cement—reduces efflorescence and improves mortar bond.
Eco Options
Fly-ash cement bricks cut embodied CO₂ by 25 %.
Palletised Supply
500 pcs/clay pallet, 200 pcs/190 mm block pallet—fast forklift unloading, less breakage.

5. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How many bricks per m² of wall?
Clay (65 mm): ~60 pcs m-² (215 mm thick), ~120 pcs m-² (½-brick thick).
Cement (190 mm): 12.5 pcs m-².
 
Q2: Can clay and cement bricks be mixed in one wall?
Not recommended—different thermal expansion and suction rates lead to cracking.
 
Q3: What mortar mix do you recommend?
1 : 6 cement:sand for clay; 1 : 4 cement:sand for cement bricks. Add plasticiser for workability.
 
Q4: Do you supply lightweight AAC blocks?
Yes—AAC 600 × 200 × 100-250 mm available on 4-week lead time.
