BRAER ceramic blocks: a house made of 'warm' ceramics

It is these parameters that BRAER ceramic blocks meet – a fundamentally new material for building both external and internal walls in low-rise construction. The blocks are an artificial stone made of ceramics. They are easy to work with and have an affordable price. Their feature is that they are porous, which ensures their low weight. This characteristic has a positive effect on the cost of their transportation.

Production technology

Ceramic blocks have been offered by various companies producing building materials for many years. The difference of BRAER products lies in the manufacturing technology of 'ceramics', which provides the blocks with incredibly high heat-saving characteristics and allows building a truly 'warm' house without additional insulation.

Their feature is a porous base. It is created due to the fact that during the mixing of clay, sawdust is added to it. When the clay is fired, the wood burns, forming cavities, and it is these that provide increased thermal insulation characteristics. This solution turned out to be simple, cheap and at the same time ingenious. As studies show, the heat capacity of such blocks corresponds to the characteristics of wood.

Scope of application

BRAER blocks are versatile. They are equipped with a tongue-and-groove connection, which allows reducing mortar costs, as it is only needed for joining rows horizontally. Also noteworthy is the wide range of standard sizes of ceramic blocks. They can be used both in capital construction and when erecting partitions during the redevelopment of interior space.

Conclusion

BRAER ceramic blocks are an inexpensive and reliable new generation material, whose indicators and characteristics have put it far ahead among other products in this segment. They are easy to work with, as today they can provide the fastest and most efficient construction.
