2. EVERYTHING Y O U N E E DTO K N O WABOUT F L Y A S HBRICKS FLYASHBRICKS ADVANTAGES Same number of Fly Ash Bricks will cover more area than clay bricks. Fly Ash Bricks have High FireInsulation. Due to high strength of Fly Ash Bricks, practically no breakage during transport of Fly Ash Bricks anduse. Due to uniform size of Fly Ash Bricks mortar required forjoints and plaster requirement reduces almost by50%. Due to lower water penetration seepage of water through bricks is considerablyreduced. Gypsum plaster can be directly applied on these Fly Ash Bricks without a backing coat of limeplaster. These Fly Ash Bricks do not require soaking in water for 24 hours. Sprinkling of water before use isenough. info@colmac.in www.colmac.in

3. The main advantages of using fly ash bricksare, The fly ash bricks carries High compressive strength, its provide good thermal insulation than red clay bricks, fly ash bricks cheaper as compared to clay bricks and fly ash bricks are environmentfriendly. Fly ash by mixing efficiently with the concrete mix it can replace Portland cement that in turn can aid in making big savings in concrete material prices. Increased density and also the long-term strengthening action of flash that ties up with free lime and thus, results in lower bleed channels and also decreases thepermeability. The reduced permeability of concrete by using fly ash, also aids to keep aggressive composites on the surface where the damaging action is reduced. It is also highly resistant to attack by mild acid, water andsulfate. It effectively combines with alkalis from cement, which thereby prevents the destructiveexpansion. It is also helpful in reducing the heat of hydration. The pozzolanic reaction in between lime and fly ash will significantly generate less heat and thus, prevents thermal cracking. It is an environmentally-friendlysolution. It chemically and effectively binds salts and free lime, which can create efflorescence. The lower permeability of fly ash concrete can efficiently reduce the effects of efflorescence. It improves the strength over time and offering greater strength to thebuilding.

4. Some Precise Pointsabout Fly AshBricks • Fly ash bricks are light weight material compared to clay bricks, so it is suitable for multi storey building, less weight means less stress on building, safetyassured. • Low absorption of heat, FAB (fly ash bricks) absorbsless • heat than normal bricks; it keeps your building cool even in summer, hence most suitable for Indian conditions. • Uniform shape – hence no plastering required if used forcompound • wall or godowns. • Less mortar required in construction, because all bricks are machine made and even inshape. • High compressive strength compared to normal bricks – No more wastages duringtransport. • Less porous, absorbs very little water, whereas burnt clay bricks absorbs more water during construction. Saves money on water during construction and even keeps your building strong during rainyseasons.
