Porous brick

Porous brick is made of clay with the addition of special components. Thanks to the pores, the material has enhanced heat and noise insulation characteristics. The large dimensions of the bricks contribute to faster wall masonry, and reliable grooves on the sides allow saving on cement mortar. Reviews of porous brick will also allow you to find out about their shortcomings and advantages.

Reviews of private developers on the use of porous brick

Built a house of porous brick and very satisfied!
A comment
I live with my family in Buryatia, and winters are frosty and strong winds. He did not begin to build a house of timber, the craftsmen could not be found sensible, and the prices bite. When a friend suggested building a porous brick, I didn’t even think about it.

Firstly, clay is a natural material, which means that my children are not afraid of any allergic “sores”. Still there is such a concept - the walls breathe. Only natural material can provide the necessary comfort.

Secondly, the masonry speed. Our summer is short and the speed of building a house is very important. Walls and piers laid out in 1.5 weeks.

Thirdly, good savings on masonry mortar (vertical brick walls with ridges in which mortar is not necessary).

By the way, the coming winter has confirmed the correctness of my choice. On the street minus 27 degrees, the boiler is set at 50 degrees, and at home 24 heat.
pros
Good thermal insulation, natural material.

What is porous brick: reviews of future masons
A comment
In the summer with the guys were apprentices at the brigade of experienced storekeepers. We went to work near Samara, where customers adore porous brick (it seems they make it there). Previously, it was considered to be junk material, which is only convenient to ditch. Local is completely different, especially the 38th. They unloaded it with a shaft, all the bricks are whole.

The terrain, it is understood, is not hot, but the local architects design the walls in 2 bricks of the standard variety (510 mm together) without any insulation. Indeed, they began to put, the insulation is simply impossible to stick. Even in jumpers under the windows. In terms of speed, warm ceramics seemed to me a record holder. The masters screamed us endlessly, so that they would sooner interfere with the solution and bring it to us. But with the amount of solution we were mistaken more than once, it did.
pros
durable (even without falling from a 10-meter height), it fits easily and quickly, eliminating the need for insulation
Minuses
difficult to calculate solution volume
Term of use
half a year
