Types of building materials in terms of use and material

1- Brick

This building material is widely used in the construction industry. In the past, it was prepared in the form of clay, and nowadays it is obtained by modern brick kilns at high temperature. Bricks are divided in a category into ordinary, clay, welded, refractory and paving stones. Ordinary brick and clay are widely used in the construction process.

2- Types of concrete

By combining water and cement, a strong material called concrete is obtained, which are divided into light, porous, light air, polymer, high strength concrete and self-dense concrete. In general, concrete as a very resistant material is widely used in building construction, bridge construction, dam construction, etc.

3. Cement types

This widely used building material is obtained from the combination of calcareous materials such as silicon and aluminum oxides and is in a very soft powder form. Cement is produced in Portland, refractory and colored types and has different uses.

4- Plaster

This material is powdery and white in color and is produced in different types of bleaching plaster, micronized plaster, ivory plaster, Gypton plaster and Siva plaster, and each one is used in a part of the structure according to its unique characteristics.

5. Metals

The use of various metals such as iron and steel in the construction of a structure is very wide. In general, from the beginning of construction and from foundation construction to the end of the work, metals are used in various types of rebars, types of galvanized sheets, corners and beams.

6. Glass

Glass is produced from the combination of sand and silicates. Glass is available in different types of double-glazed, unbreakable, tempered, bent, reflex, colored and smart glass in the market, and each one has a specific function.

7. Types of Construction Composite

Composites are obtained from the combination of several chemical substances. Composites are a type of modern construction materials that are widely welcomed due to their significant advantages. Among these advantages is high resistance to corrosion and heat. On the other hand, they wear less than metals and have high mechanical resistance compared to their light weight. Various types of construction composites have various uses and with their help, you can speed up the construction process. They are also a suitable alternative to wood and iron.

In addition, they play a big role in the beauty of the facade of the building, and the reasonable price of these building materials makes their use economical and affordable. Construction composites are produced in different types such as trusses, composite columns, composite profiles, and beams and panels, and they have much better resistance than their steel counterparts. For this reason, special attention is paid to these new construction materials in modern construction.
