Fly Ash Bricks
Fly ash bricks are a type of building material made from fly ash, a fine-grained residue that is collected from the flue gas of coal-fired power plants. Fly ash is a byproduct of the combustion process and is typically disposed of in landfills. However, it can also be recycled and used to produce construction materials, such as fly ash bricks.
- Strength: Fly ash bricks can be as strong or stronger than traditional clay bricks, depending on the composition of the fly ash and the manufacturing process.
- Durability: They are resistant to weathering and can last for many years.
- Lightweight: Fly ash bricks are generally lighter than clay bricks, which can reduce the weight of buildings and lower construction costs.
- Insulation: They have good insulating properties, which can help to improve energy efficiency in buildings.
- Environmental benefits: Using fly ash to make bricks helps to reduce waste and conserve natural resources.
