POROTHERM HP

Under the brand POROTHERM, Wienerberger India has been producing Horizontally Perforated Clay Bricks since May 2009.These Clay Bricks are used for Non-Load Bearing partition walls or infill masonry.

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 1000º C), with a fire rating of F240 ( 240 minutes ).

As a result

• Reduction of dead loads
• Saving on structural costs
• Faster construction

. 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.

 8inch thick 8feetHeight(if lintel in there 4inch height) .. 6inch & 4inch 4feet..

.

 Plumbwork r adjustment within 15minutes...
first block should be full and it is kept horizontally(100mm mortar should be poured inside blocks  every alternative layers) ,         and second layer block should be half and kept vertically

 Adesive mortar Initial Setting Time=1Hr&  Final SettingTime=6Hr..
