Main Advantages:
-
60% less weight than a solid concrete block
-
Compressive strength >3.5 N/mm2
-
Density of approx. 694 to 783 kg/m3
-
Large size & low weight
-
Excellent thermal insulation
-
Water absorption ~15%
-
Thermal Insulation
Specially formulated insulating material gives it a ‘U’ Value* of 0.6
W/m²K , which results in superior thermal insulation that greatly
improves the indoor comfort of the building.
Energy Saving
Eliminates the cost for installing external insulation, cavity walls
with external insulating membranes and reduces use of cooling devices
such as A/C in hot climate and heaters during the cold climate.
Healthy Living
100% natural clay product with natural additives like coal ash,rice
husk and granite slurry. No toxic or any chemical additives are used,
thereby making it free from toxic gases and fumes that can cause
allergies and other health problems.
Light Weight and Faster Construction
60% lighter than conventional walling material, thus allowing faster
construction, ease of handling and improved productivity in masonry. It
also contributes to substantial savings on structural cost due to
reduction in dead load.
Natural and Green
Testified by the accreditation of our products by Indian Green Building
Council for ratings.
Strength and Ease of Usage
High compressive strength and is also easy to chase and chisel for
electrical and plumbing conduits making it simple to install all types
of fixtures (geysers, air conditioners, cabinets, closets etc).
Unlimited Life and Maximum Fire Protection
An exceptionally long life with zero maintenance and is highly fire
resistant (it is fired at 1000ยบ C), with a fire rating of F240 ( 240 minutes ).
As a result
-
Reduction of dead loads
-
Saving on structural costs
-
Faster construction

Min 3mm & max10 to 12mm thick verticle joints.
. Start always from
doors opening to column..
Dip in mortar before place... Then line &
plumb & level.. One side plumb available & another side 2mm
plumbout...
At column 6mm thick required & 3mm verticle & Horizontal jointsbetween bricks.
