Some benefits of working with these materials are related to clay brick price (ราคา อิฐมอญ, which is the term in Thai) that are extremely affordable, the durability of the product, and many more.
Here are the top Benefits that you can avail with Clay Bricks:
-
Clay Bricks as Thermal Batteries:
The clay bricks use the energy from the sun and provide natural thermal energy thus minimizing the need for electricity-based equipment like air conditioners, heaters, etc. Thus, clay bricks act as good thermal batteries to save and provide energy.
-
Cost-Effective:
Clay brick is proven to be cost-effective as the clay brick price is affordable and also offers many long-term savings like savings on plastering or painting, savings on air conditioning and heaters, savings on cleaning and repair, savings on maintenance and cracking.
-
Structural Strength:
The clay bricks offer appreciably high strength and have high load bear capacity. There is no or negligible cracking offering extensive structural integrity to the wall. Changes in temperature usually cause walls to crack because of expansion or contraction. But this is not the case for clay bricks. The cracking is minimal even in the presence of extreme temperature fluctuations.
-
Incombustible Nature:
One desired quality of any building material is its inability to catch fire. And clay brick is incombustible and does not catch fire.
