Precision-moulded interlocking bricks give a fair-faced wall, so plastering is not required for the finish. Many owners apply a breathable sealant or waterproofing coat on exterior walls for added monsoon protection.
What is the difference between soil and cement interlocking bricks?
Soil bricks use stabilized soil with enough cement, made without quarry dust. They give excellent thermal comfort and a rustic terracotta look. Cement bricks use cement and fine aggregate for a smooth, dense block with high water resistance, suited to heavier structures and heavy monsoon areas.
What sizes do you make?
Soil bricks: 10 × 8 × 5 and 10 × 6 × 5 inches. Cement bricks: 12 × 8 × 5 and 12 × 6 × 5 inches. M-Brick: 12 × 8 × 6 inches.
How much can I save compared with clay bricks?
Each interlocking brick costs more than a clay brick, but the overall wall costs less. Mortar use falls by about 90%, labour time drops, and you skip plastering. Masonry savings of up to 40% are possible.
Which areas do you deliver interlocking bricks to?
