Mud Bricks:
The Great Wall of China was built using
mudbricks in 210BC. Their strength and durability are
unquestiionable. The aesthetic, acoustic and energy efficient
properties of mud bricks make them a popular choice for modern
homes.
We supply the highest quality mud bricks
available, engineered to meet the most stringent guidelines in the
industry. The CSIRO "Bulletin 5" test replicates 40 inches of rain
every year for 50 years. To pass this test the brick surface erosion
must be less than 1mm. These high quality mud bricks are
complemented by regular mud brick building courses and all the
accessories and know how you need to build with
confidence.
The thermal properties of mud
bricks are a major reason for their popularity as a building
material. The thermal mass of a mud brick wall helps in storing heat
in winter and soaking it up in the summer, levelling out the
temperature gradient within the home. This ‘levelling out’ of the
temperature means less reliance on heating and cooling.
A mud
brick wall is essentially a solid earth wall. All the components –
the bricks, the mortar and the render – are all the same material.
So when the wall is erected it can be any shape you like. The
picture of the tree featured in a wall above is just one example of
the possibilities.
