Top 3 Interlock Bricks, 1st one is the best in the market

In modern age, the word “brick” relates to any stone/mud, Cement/Concrete, Fly ash based building unit that is connected with cementitious mortar when used in construction.

If we talk about Interlock Bricks, we all know, In today’s world, a lot of families in rural and urban areas dream of building and living in an affordable brick home.

We are all aware that building construction is costly and time-taking. So, interlocking bricks are a perfect solution for cost-effective eco-friendly quick construction.

And we also know that, A brick house is the dream of many middle class families in India, and interlocking bricks are cost-effective and strong and meet that dream.

Interlocking bricks is a type of Compressed Stabilized Earth Bricks (CSEB).

According to the type of interlocking bricks raw materials are screened, crushed, mixed and compressed together in a machine to create these bricks with interlocking design (Vertical and Horizontal Locks).

These Bricks are then cured for seven days. Compared to the bricks that are often used for construction, this method is less expensive.

These bricks don’t need to be cured once its in the construction site and can be interlocked together without cement mortar. The bricks is designed to be locked vertically and horizontally.

Building using this bricks are quick and it can be easily constructed using less trained labor and are mostly one time investment and can be dismantled and reused in an another construction if needed.

Types of Interlock Bricks

Now, we’ll look into it’s types: Here, there are three different types of Interlock bricks present in the market. Let’s know about them one by one:

• Dolfix Mud Interlocking Bricks
• Interlocking Cement/Concrete Bricks
• Interlocking Fly ash Bricks

Dolfix Mud Interlock Bricks

Dolfix Mud interlocking bricks are Eco-friendly and have high compressive strength. It can support an extensive amount of weight and are just as durable as traditional fire blocks or laterite bricks.

As a result, they can be used to construct multi-story buildings or load-bearing buildings.

These bricks are manufactured using the most cutting-edge technology and it’s environmental friendly. These mud bricks are manufactured using laterite soil, eco-friendly cement and eco-friendly chemicals.

Interlocking Cement/Concrete Bricks

Portland cement, water, sand, and gravel are the materials used to make interlocking cement/concrete bricks. As a fine aggregate, fly ash is occasionally utilized.

Interlocking Fly ash Bricks

A mixture of fly ash, cement, sand, lime, and gypsum is used to create fly ash bricks.

Interlock Bricks Properties

Standard Interlock bricks sizes

1. Length: 10 inch, Height: 5 inch, Width: 8 inch (Widely used in load bearing structures)
2. Length: 10 inch, Height: 5 inch, Width: 6 inch (Widely used in pillar, framed and column structures)

Conditions when choosing brick size:

Only Ground Floor buildings (Load Bearing Structure)

8inch and 6inch can be used (8inch is more recommended incase if you’re not sure you are going to construct one or two floors above the ground floor)

Ground + First Floor buildings (Load Bearing Structure)

8inch should be used on Ground floor. In first floor 8inch and 6inch can be used. only use 6inch in the first floor if you’re not constructing the second floor.

Ground + First + Second Floor buildings (Load Bearing Structure)

8inch should be used on Ground floor and first floor and 6inch should be used in second floor. (6inch in the second floor helps to reduce the weight of the building)

Non-load bearing structures

8 inch/6 inch width bricks can be used but 6 inch width bricks are more recommended as they reduces the weight of the buildings and can be used up to any floor.

Conclusion

The use of interlocking bricks is the most widely adopted method in commercial and residential building construction.

These bricks are “vertically and horizontally locked” to one another without the use of cement mortar to produce a distributed strong structure which is earthquake resistant and it also reduces the construction cost and building time.

For example: if you are using interlock bricks to build a 1000sqft home the structure will reach up to the lintel level within a week.

In spite of sand’s increasing cost and less availability and the rising cost of cement, interlocking bricks are a welcome alternative for building residential and commercial buildings that doesn’t require cement paste to adhere to it.

Each Interlocking Brick has horizontal and vertical locks that interlocks and fit with the others.

Here, The Dolfix mud interlocking bricks are Eco-friendly, it reduces the overall heat and gives cooler interior comparing to fly ash/cement in hotter temperature and saves electricity.

If we talk about cement/fly ash interlocking bricks they absorbs the sunlight and push the heat into the building.

Therefore, this Dolfix mud interlocking bricks are good fit for the construction of buildings as it reduces the labor, material cost and electricity costs.
