The construction industry is evolving to a great extent with new methodologies, construction materials, and equipment. This improves construction quality, makes it less labor-intensive, and reduces time and cost. Interlocking bricks are one such building material that has made everyone take notice. Check out how Interlocking bricks can be used for stronger homes with a better finish.
Interlocking Concrete blocks in Kerala are fabricated by Toughie Engineering by mixing crusher dust, Ordinary Portland Cement, 6 MM baby metal (aggregate), and water using dual compression hydraulic technology. These blocks are termite resistant, soundproof, and provide natural insulation against heat and cold.
Interlocking bricks are becoming increasingly popular as they are as strong as regular mud blocks or laterite stones and can bear huge weight as well. Being larger in size than normal bricks, they could be used to build load-bearing walls, foundations, basement walls, and partition walls. The modern interlock brick house construction method can be used for constructing two-storeyed houses or flats without pillars and beams.
One of the most significant advantages of interlocking bricks is that they have shiny outer surfaces and the walls constructed with these bricks do not require cement plastering. Putty could be directly applied over it and then finished off with paint. This tends to decrease the cost of construction and the time taken to complete the construction by up to 30 – 40%.
The earthy tones of the interlocking blocks look fabulous once a coat of terracotta-colored paint is applied. Water-resistant paint can be applied on the exterior side of the walls for additional protection from moisture. When interlocking bricks are used to construct boundary walls, it is preferable to apply a thin concrete coating over them to increase their capacity and protect it from rainwater.
The unique dual-locking premium quality bricks from Toughie Engineering come with special designs. As these bricks have good temperature management properties, buildings built with them exude comfort even in hot summers. Houses built with such bricks stand the test of time even in places prone to earthquakes.
