Clay bricks have a long life span and durability, these benefits ensure that clay brick structures last for generations.
Bricks are from clay and water, are completely recyclable, and can ultimately be returned to Mother Earth.

Here are some more of the benefits of building with bricks:

Acoustic Insulation

Apart from its natural thermal qualities, clay brick also has highly sought after acoustic properties, which resists the transmission of airborne sound and reduces the impact of external noise.

Dimensional Accuracy and Symmetry

Clay bricks have the highest dimensional stability and compressive strength. Deformations in buildings can lead to creep and shrinkage of mortar, which in turn can lead to surface cracking due to compressive strains and temperature fluctuations, thus jeopardising the safety of the entire building. These cracks can be avoided by adapting the structural design to the properties of the building material. Clay bricks, for example, have an extremely low deformation value.

Durability

Durability is as an important factor in sustainable building design – the longer the building lasts the fewer materials and less energy it will consume over the long term. Clay brick is a durable and timeless building material that complements the aesthetic and functional needs of any building.

Ease of Use

Seldom do clay bricks become too wet to work with, which means builders and developers benefit from significant savings in time and labour.

Energy Efficiency

Clay bricks are renowned for their thermal attributes that provide warmth in winter and cooler conditions in summer, thus ensuring that energy is not squandered on artificial heating and cooling mechanisms.

Environmentally Friendly

Clay brick is a product of ‘mother earth’, and after use, can be crushed and returned to earth, or recycled. Not only do recycled clay bricks contribute towards embodied energy savings, they also extend the life cycle of this material.

Fire Resistance

Clay brick is incombustible and therefore will not contribute to the start or rapid spread of fires, nor can it add fuel to make a fire more intense.

Strength

Clay bricks vary in compressive strength due to the differing qualities of raw materials and the method of firing.

Weatherproof

Clay bricks are rendered water resistant making them impervious to all forms of weather conditions.
