Interlocking bricks Q & A 

I really love the work you are doing. I learned about you in the interview you did with Build with Amoaa :) and been sharing your story every since then!

youve answered some of the questions i had about interlocking bricks! great video 👌👌

Very well explained thanks Eno 😊 👍 🙏

Amazing tutorial sister...keep on moving forward with IB in Ghana.

Perfect

Amazing! 🙏🏿🌍✨

Excellent job Eno. Thanks for your hard work

November 2nd 2022 watching from the Caribbean and definitely love your properties

Wow nice very informative.

Super 👍👍🎉🎉

Enjoyed the Q&A with important information. Would like to know what the ratio of the bricks raw materials are?

Well explained but please can interlocking bricks still go under the burning process... Can we have a burnt interlocking bricks?

Well done. I have failed in getting an earth architect. My dream is to build a refuge for vulnerable women in my community and build them a cottage that will generate income for their basic needs while they try to stand back up again.

I have watched the video many times, the little problem am having is the roofing. How accurate is it to stand with the roofing. Meaning it won't cost problems to the roofing.. You guys need to put more information out there.

Can some be a intern in your company and for how long? Because this is very interesting.

Hello Eno, do you have trainings/ workshops dates for interested persons?

Very beautiful bricks, and I love your explanation. Are you on Facebook because I want to get in touch with you?

The bricks you are displaying are Compressed Stabilised Earth Brick (CSEB). The other brick, with the tongue and groove are Interlocking Stabilised Soil Bricks (ISSB) or they are also known as Hydraform Bricks. With the Hydraform Bricks, depending on what machine you use to make the bricks, you can get variations in length, which is not ideal for building any structure. The brick you are showcasing, with the cores / perforations is actually better for construction, as you are able to vertically and horizontally stabilise the wall with reinforcing and cement throughout the wall. The other benefit of CSEB are that you can run your utilities via the cores, without compromising the integrity of the wall. ISSB, you either run the utility on the outside of the wall, or cut into the wall and backfill with cement, thereby reducing the integrity of the wall. Please view the attached link for demonstration: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cWYyiE6OBE4.html With hiding defects in the bricks, it is possible to cut a brick out and put a new face in place. Malaysian Interlocking Bricks have a video on RU-vid, where they take to a brick with an angle grinder, remove the face, then place mortar on the back of the new face, then simply press into the wall. Please view the attached link for a demonstration of how to remove and refit a brick face in the wall: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lPRCVf8OsUM.html Having seen several videos on RU-vid, it is my thinking that there is a market for a 450 * 150 * 100 mm brick for internal wall use, especially at a 4 way meeting of walls. But, in saying that, Australians used to build with a 290 * 90 * either 90 or 76 mm brick. Depending on the brick, the 90 mm high were called Modulars, while the 76 mm high were either Glenline or Ranchline bricks, depending on who was making them! There is also a company that manufactures machines from Thailand, and Malaysia, whose machines are set up so that you can, if you wish, put finishes on the face of the brick. This can vary from an exquisite pattern to a rockface design. My hope is that my knowledge has been of help and of interest to you and your viewers. In the coming months, am looking to build my own machine, and set it up so that different types of blocks and bricks can be made from the one machine, thereby being more cost effective with the production of different products from the one machine. Currently, from what has been seen, if you want to make 3 different types of product, you require 3 machines. My system, if it can be done to what my thinking is, will be one machine that can be set up for different products and different sizes.

thank you for your explanation. how much i must pay for this ISSBS ?

Can the walls made with these bricks be plasterd (if one so desires) like walls made with regular cement bricks?

hello, I'm in search for the machine that makes the bricks. do you sell them?

Eno please I'm serious how do I get some of the bricks in Eastern region. I need a contact of urs.

Would love to have a coffee with ya!

What is the dimensions of each block and diameter of each hole?

Hi Eno, I will need you to help me build my poultry and pig farms at Nkawie in the Ashanti region. Please let me know if you can then we can advance, thanks.

Good Morning. I'm Nigerian and I would like to know if you do business in Nigeria. I'm looking at building my dream house and want to know if you can advise accordingly. Thank you

Dose it needs burn in oven?

Can't we plaster over it?

Life span, Without plastering?

Can you tell me.please how.much pressure is needed when you make this with a automatic machiene like shown on youtube .

those random holes on the walls don't make them look pretty honestly
