PROPERTIES OF MUD BRICKS

Longevity: Mud bricks are the world's oldest manufactured building material and they have stood the test of time. As testimony of mud bricks strength and durability, the Great Wall of China (210 BC) was built of both burned and sun-dried mud bricks. Proof that your mudbrick home will not only be enjoyed by you but by generations to come.

Energy Efficient: Mud brick homes are very energy efficient being warm in winter and cool in summer. The thick, solid walls of a mudbrick home act as a buffer to extremes of weather during both winter and summer. To read more about the energy efficiency of mud brick homes, click here.

Aesthetics and Acoustics: A mud brick home looks great! It blends with the environment and has a warm welcoming feel. The mud brick walls absorb sound and reduce echo, producing a home that is quiet and serene.

Easy to Lay: Whether a professional brick layer or a novice, mudbricks are easy to lay. The bricks are the same material as the mortar and as a result they don't need to be laid perfectly. In fact the variations in a mud brick wall give it character.

Environmentally Sound: Our mud bricks are an environmentally sound choice being made from natural materials and requireing very little energy to produce. They are sun dried and simply manufactured and therefore have a very low embodied energy.

Economical: There are considerable cost savings in building a mud brick home as they are generally built as a single-skin structure and are also load bearing. This eliminates the need for a timber framework, insulation, gyprock and paint, saving you $$.
