Comparison Between Concrete Blocks & Clay Brick
| CEMENT FLYASH BLOCK | CLAY BRICKS |
|---|---|
| Comprehensive Strength: > 10 N/mm 2 | Comprehensive Strength: 30-35 kg/Sq.cm |
| Water absorption Less than 10% | Water absorption Less than 20% - 25% |
| 420-450 No.s bricks per cum of wall including wastage | 500-550 No.s bricks per cum of wall including wastage |
| External Plaster:12mm | External Plaster:32mm |
| Eco friendly product | Non-Eco friendly product |
| Sharp Edges and Regular shape | Blunt Edges and Irregular shape |
| Cured as per IS specification | Not cured properly |
| Wastage < 1% | Wastage minimum 10% - 15% |
| Flyashbricks do not require soaking in water, only sprinkling of water is enough | Clay bricks require soaking in water |
| Plaster of paris / Gypsum plaster can be applied on Cement Flyash bricks without back coating of plaster | Plaster of paris / Gypsum plaster can not be applied directly on clay bricks without back coating of plaster |
- Saving time with less material consumption as well as cost.
- Due to less thickness saving of material.
- Unplastered surface gives good look.
- Use of appropriate matreial gives good strength.
- With state of art machines gives good quality.
- Low water absorption give prolonged paint life
- Less breakage give value for money.
Advantages of Solid Concrete blocks are as follows :
- High compressive strength
- Low water absorption
- High strength to weight ratio
- Vibration technology ensures dimensional accuracy and even product density
- Green Product
- Saves Mortar in Plastering
