Clay bricks are made from a combination of clay and clay as raw materials, and the reason for naming these bricks is the same. This brick is used in the Chinese wall of buildings and currently the production of this product is done by two traditional methods (handmade and molded) and modern (industrial) methods. The final product of clay bricks usually has a cubic block shape with regular horizontal holes. The number of these holes varies depending on the dimensions of the brick and this affects the price of the clay blade. The number of holes in the clay blade is different depending on its dimensions and these bricks are available in the market in the form of 5.5 cm 3 holes, 7 cm 4 holes, 15 and 20 cm 9 holes in the market. In general, up to 60% of the surface of this product is covered by holes. It becomes empty.
Types of pottery brick
Clay brick or clay blade or clay block is one of the widely used materials in the construction industry, these large and heavy bricks that have a very high resistance are often used for porcelain walls and floor and ceiling construction. The high resistance and strength of these building materials has caused the demand for its production to increase more than before in recent years. These bricks are produced and sold in the form of cubes with horizontal holes, the price of clay bricks is determined according to the size and quality of these bricks and they are sold in the booming market of building materials. Clay blade, unlike Lefton brick, does not have a high pressure resistance and is produced and marketed in two types of pressing and extrusion.
The benefits of using earthen bricks
Clay bricks are one of the best building materials for the Chinese wall, which has many fans in the construction industry. These bricks are very economical in terms of cost and the advantages of using these bricks are as follows: Less consumption of cement-sand mortar: Using a clay blade reduces the consumption of cement-sand mortar by 50 to 60% compared to Lefton bricks. Saving time and labor costs: the speed of working with a clay blade is much higher. The size of each clay blade is equal to 2 to 3 Lefton bricks. Larger dimensions make it easier and faster to move and install the clay blade. By using this product, 30 to 40% of labor time and cost can be saved. Proper thermal insulation: Clay blades have holes in which air is trapped. This characteristic makes the clay blade 20 to 30% better insulation than ordinary bricks. The heat exchange rate of this product was recorded as 0.726 w/m2 in tests. This feature saves energy used to regulate environmental conditions compared to other walls. They put foam inside some clay bricks, because foamed clay bricks are better insulated than normal bricks. Light weight: the ratio of weight to dimensions of clay bricks is 20% less than other bricks, and the cost of the building skeleton is saved due to the reduction of dead load on the roofs. As you know, the cost of transporting bricks to the construction site is high, the light weight of this product reduces the total price of this product. Sound insulation: the holes in the clay plate act as acoustic barriers.
