Conventional Bricks
QUALITY OF FLY-ASH BRICKS:
1. FLY-ASH Bricks are eco friendly as it protects environment though Conservation of top soil and
utilization of waste products of coal or lignite based Thermal Power Plants.
2. It plays a vital role in the abetment of carbon-die-oxide a harmful green house gas mass emission
of which is threatening to throw the earths atmosphere out of balance.
3. It is three times stronger then the conventional burnt clay bricks.
4. Its size of 250 x120 x 75 mm is derived from the modular concept giving perfect finish to both
faces, whereby up to 30%cement mortar can be saved during laying and plastering thus reducing
the cost of construction.
5. As no clay is used in the manufacture of FLY-ASH Bricks the scope of efflorescence is
negligible.
6. It continues gaining strength on watering ever after installation.
7. Loss-due to breakage under standard working condition is less then one percent.
8. Use of FLY-ash Bricks results in 100RFT -8.33sq ft each side, which enhances valuation of built
up property.
9. Fly-Ash Bricks is lighter than the conventional clay bricks as it weight around 3 to 3.2 Kgs per
bricks
. The basic chemistry and technology based on which FLY-ASH Bricks is manufactured has been
successfully applied in major construction project across the globe , namely:a) Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
b) Hungry House Dam
c) Euro Tunnel
Japan
USA
United Kingdom/ France
. FLY-Ash Bricks are cheaper than ordinary First class Clay Brick and cost affective in use and
environment friendly.
