FIRE RESISTANT
Depending upon the thickness of the Bricks, they offer fire resistance from 2 hours up to 6 hours.These bricks are highly suitable for the areas where fire safety is of great priority.
PEST RESISTANT
Bricks consist of the inorganic material in its constitution that helps preventing/avoiding termites, damages or losses.
SOUND PROOF
The porous structure of the bricks results into enhanced sound absorption. The Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of the bricks up to 45 db. Thus, bricks have been the most ideal material for the construction of walls in auditorium, hotels, hospitals, studios, etc.
EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT
The light weight property of the bricks results into higher steadiness of the bricks in the structure of the buildings. As the impact of the earthquake is directly proportional to the weight of the building, the building constructed using bricks are more reliable and safer.
FASTER CONSTRUCTION
As the Bricks is very easy to handle, manipulate and use ordinary tools for cutting the wood such as the drill, band saws, etc. could be easily used to cut and align the Bricks. Moreover, the Bricks come with larger sizes and fewer joints. This ultimately results in faster construction work as the installation time is significantly reduced due to fewer amounts of Bricks and the masonry amount involved is also lowered resulting into reduced time-to-finish.
LONG LASTING
Bricks are highly superior in terms of the strength. Higher level of strength of these Bricks gives higher stability to the structure of the building. Bricks is manufactured from non-biodegradable materials, which neither rot nor attract mould, keeping interiors clean and durable.
COST SAVING
Bricks weighs almost around 80% less as compared to the conventional red brick ultimately resulting into great reduction
of deadweight. Further, the reduced deadweight results into reduction of the use of cement and steel which helps great in cost savings.
VERSATILE
Bricks have an attractive appearance and is readily adaptable to any style of architecture. Almost any design can be achieved with Bricks.
NON-TOXIC
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete products do not contain any toxic gas substances. The product does not harbor or encourage vermin.
THERMAL INSULATION
Bricks has exceptional thermal insulating qualities. The thermal conductivity of the Bricks helps maintaining the inner temperature to be warm during the winters and cool during the summers which ultimately leads to savings in air conditioning load and consequently enhanced energy efficiency.
MOISTURE RESISTANCE
Moisture from both external and internal sources can cause damage to buildings, therefore, moisture protection is a primary consideration.
External moisture sources include rain and water from the soil. Internal moisture, usually in the form of humidity, can cause
condensation on the surface of the walls as well as condensation inside the wall itself.
Bricks has a very porous structure which is characterized by "macro" pores. Macro pores are small air bubbles evenly distributed
throughout the material. Therefore, absorption of water into the Bricks material is minimal.
ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY
Bricks is a non-toxic product which does not pollute the air, land or water. During the manufacturing process, waste from
the cutting process is recycled back with raw materials and used again. During construction, there is virtually no waste generated. The energy consumed in the production process is only a fraction compared to the production of other materials. The manufacturing process emits no pollutants and creates no by-products or toxic waste products. Bricks is manufactured from natural raw materials. The finished product is thrice the volume of the raw materials used, making it extremely resource-efficient and environmentally friendly.
LIGHTWEIGHT
One of the biggest features of Bricks is its light weight. These blocks possess a cellular structure created during
manufacturing process. Millions of tiny air cells impart Bricks very light weight structure. Density of these lightweight Bricks usually ranges between 550 – 650 kg/m³ making them lighter than water.
PERFECT SIZE AND SHAPE
The process of manufacturing Bricks ensures constant and consistent dimensions. Factory finished Bricks provide a uniform base for economical application of a variety of finishing systems. Internal walls can be finished by direct P.O.P., thus eliminating the need of plastering.
HIGH COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
The Bricks has an average compressive strength of (3-4.5) N/mm³ which is superior to most types of light weight Bricks, 25% stronger than other products of the same density.
HIGH RESISTANCE IO WATER PENETRATION
The Bricks products, because of their cellular and discontinuous micro structure are superior to the normal clay brick in resistance of water penetrability and thus the external surface of Bricks walls provides superior resistance to moisture penetration than the traditional clay bricks.
