Interlocking bricks are now finding more and more applications in the building construction industry. They have been found suitable for building walls in places with hot climates and earthquake-prone areas.
Check out the benefits of interlocking bricks over normal bricks brought to you by Toughie Engineering, a prime manufacturer & supplier of interlocking bricks in Kerala
1. They are cheaper to make.
Interlocking bricks are manufactured with sand and soil in addition to cement, they come at lower costs than regular bricks. In fact, they can cost as much as 35% less than regular bricks.
2. Interlocking bricks are more resistant to earthquakes.
Regular bricks depend on mortar for their support system. If the mortar fails during an earthquake, the entire wall or building will collapse. However, interlocking bricks have their own support system (locking) that does not rely on the mortar & supports each other effectively.
3. They are recommended by some governments.
Many governments in areas where earthquakes are common recommend Interlocking bricks and even give subsidies for construction
4. They provide better insulation in hot areas.
As Interlocking bricks are compressed, there is more mass, and the bricks keep the interior of the building cooler in hot areas.
5. They are environmentally friendly.
Using interlocking bricks can help preserve the environment. Not only will you be using less concrete and mortar, but residents of buildings will not need to use air conditioning as much due to the cooler internal temperatures
6. They address the labor shortage.
Less effort and fewer workers are needed for making interlocking bricks than standard bricks
7. Speedy construction
Interlocking bricks ensure speedy construction and less time for curing.
8. They are durable and need less maintenance.
As Interlocking bricks are strong and durable, they need less maintenance than standard bricks. The finishing is also smooth.
9. They are easier to recover.
When you decide to dismantle the structure later, it is easier to recover the interlocking bricks without damaging them. With normal bricks bound by mortar, recovery will be more difficult.
