Interlocking Clay Brick

Interlocking bricks are the enhanced form of conventional clay bricks. Each brick is constructively designed to lock itself to the other bricks. Study presents a laboratory investigation on the properties of interlocking compressed earth brick (ICEB) units. Comprehensive strength, which is one of the most important properties in masonry structures, is used to determine masonry performance.
The Public Works Department recommends values of 2.8 N/mm2 for non load bearing block and 5.2 N/mm2 for load bearing block. *Our bricks comprehensive strength value approximate 9 N/mm2.*
Full size of block ( 300mmx150mmx
Because of this characteristic, the process of building walls is faster and requires less skilled labour as the blocks are laid dry and lock into place.
One of the most amazing advantages of the interlocking bricks is that they have shiny outer surfaces which do not require cement plastering. Putty could be directly applied over it and then finished off with paint.
It helps reduce the cost of construction of the walls up to 30% to 40%
15:2185-(pars)-1978, which species that the interlocking con back should not absorb more than 10% of water
*Our water absorption 3.8%*
Cost-savings as cement and sand are not used for constructing the wall.
Being a less heat-intensive and natural material, laterite retains coolness inside
Less labor intensive and more time-saving as the Interlocking blocks need only be fitted to each other; instead of conventional cement mortar construction.
It is not advisable to have Interlocking walls in areas which are prone to get wet frequently (like bathrooms).
Apply waterproof finish to the wall to prevent moisture and increase durability.
