ABSTRACT
"Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’’
Long before Sustainability was the priority. Builders & Home owners were using Clay Bricks because they lasted forever and required almost no maintenance over them. Bricks buildings are strong, durable and it can resist extreme weathers as well.
Building material are important for the construction of Commercial, Residential, Public and Educational buildings. Though there are traditional Bricks used to build there structure and also old method of Terracotta Bricks, we have Invented new Terracotta Bricks which are Strong, Durable, Bigger in Size, Light in Weight, Cheap in Cost, Environment Friendly and act as Insulating Materials as well. The Main purpose of these Bricks is that they consumes less Amount of Sand & Cement during construction, compared to Traditional & Old method using Terracotta Bricks.
The Main Advantage of our Bricks is that :
1. Precise Brick Size and Surface which benefits as
• Savings on Material Line
• Leveled Plaster Surface
• Plumb & Line For the walls is maintained
• Reduces Plaster Thickness.
2. Low U-Values which includes
• Better Thermal Insulation = Less Energy loss through the walls
• Fire Resistant
• Superior Thermal Insulation
• Savings on Energy consumption
3. Light in Weight
Roofing Tiles
Interlocks
Horizontal positioning bricks
