WOW. May I know what materials are used for making this? This is good for Africa, where plenty of soil is available, but people still rely on very costly concrete blocks
Are these fire treated , how much percentage of cement used while making (or only mud). And how much cement it require compared to normal bricks while building walls?
I heard there would be minute gaps between the blocks that would invite insects. Will plastering of the walls be necessary when using these blocks? Are the unplastered walls water resistant in case of heavy rainfall?
It is recommended to do pointing between the bevelled edges to cover all gaps between the bricks it is done by using a mix of fine soil & cement, ratio 6:1 The bricks have a water absorption of 8 % , for the outside walls you can apply a hydrophobic Nano coat which deflects water but allows breathability, this has a life of over 8 years. check video for demo ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sgSL53UCryw.html
@@EarthBlocksIndia thank you very much for your response. Are you available in Bangalore? Do you also undertake civil construction too? If not kindly reccomend good civil contractors who are proficient in the use of such bricks
Iam always curious about the water resitant ability of unburnt bricks, especially when confronted with standing water, how would such a wall perform against a burned bricks wall?
Can you supply such bricks to Assa m and also suggest any reputed n genuine architect skilled in construct ing Keralite style house with mud roof tiles here in Assam.
I was trying to find a interlocking thermal insulating brick solution for my home construction in Kerala for a while. I know porotherm and I am in touch with their local distributor, although I am not fully convinced to go ahead with them. Does this company provide products and services in Kerala? May I know please
Are you selling the machines that produced these blocks or just the blocks it self. the other question is can those machine produce bigger blocks (W:15xL: 40xH: 20) Hight being 20cm and lastly what is the pressure force on the blocks before its produced by the machine (tell e in psi or MPa) measurements thanks
@Michael Owusu This type of construction is allowed in US and is very popular is Texas area… U will get all the thing through this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IuQB3x4ZNeA.html
plastering reduces the breathability of the brick which helps in passive temperature control. if u really want to u can plaster. we suggest lime plaster or even direct putty & water based paints only !
I have two questions in my mind First what is the weight of each block Second there is lot of holes in bricks if i want to completely fill up all the holes with concrete sand slurry is it going to be more expensive?
