Advantages of Fly Ash Bricks
Fly ash bricks are revolutionizing the construction industry with their eco-friendly properties, superior strength, and cost-effectiveness. These innovative building materials offer numerous advantages over traditional clay bricks, making them the preferred choice for modern, sustainable construction projects.
Made from industrial waste, reducing environmental impact
Fly ash bricks are made from fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion, along with lime, gypsum, and water. They are known for their durability, lightweight nature, and environmental benefits. Unlike traditional clay bricks, fly ash bricks are cured at ambient temperatures, making them energy-efficient and sustainable.
Fly Ash Bricks: Made from industrial waste, reducing landfill usage and environmental pollution.
Clay Bricks: Require mining of natural clay, leading to soil erosion and environmental degradation.
Fly Ash Bricks: Lower production costs due to waste materials and less energy consumption.
Clay Bricks: Higher production costs due to clay extraction and high-temperature kiln firing.
Fly Ash Bricks: Lighter in weight, making them easier to handle and transport.
Clay Bricks: Heavier, increasing transportation and labor costs.
Fly Ash Bricks: Excellent compressive strength (7.5-10 MPa), making them durable and long-lasting.
Clay Bricks: Lower compressive strength (3.5-5 MPa), making them less durable.
Fly Ash Bricks: Better thermal insulation properties, reducing energy consumption.
Clay Bricks: Poor insulation, leading to higher energy costs.
Fly Ash Bricks: Precise manufacturing process ensures uniform shape and size.
Clay Bricks: Irregular shapes and sizes, leading to higher mortar consumption.
