LIGHTWEIGHT BRICKS & RED BRICKS

Red Brick
Red bricks are made from clay that is fired at high temperatures in a kiln, resulting in dense and heavy bricks.

Key Characteristics:

• Strength: Stronger and more resistant to pressure compared to lightweight bricks.
• Thermal Mass: Good heat absorption capability, helping to maintain stable building temperatures.
• Aesthetics: Provides a traditional and classic appearance.

Lightweight Brick
Lightweight bricks are made from a mixture of materials like sand, cement, and fillers such as fly ash, containing many small air bubbles, making them lighter than red bricks.

Key Characteristics:

• Lightweight: Reduces structural load due to its lighter weight compared to red bricks.
• Thermal and Acoustic Insulation: Good insulation properties due to the trapped air within its structure.
• Manufacturing and Installation: Modern production process with quicker installation than red bricks.
