Bricks
1. Wire Cut Bricks
Wire Cut Bricks are the bricks made by forcing stiff clay through a mold to create a uniform column & further this column is passed against steel wires to create a uniform size & shape. These extruded bricks tend to be more regular in size & texture than sand molded or handmade bricks. They are very good in strength, durability & insulation properties. They may have perforations (holes) or may not (solid). The introduction of such holes reduces the volume of clay needed, hence the cost. These holes allow mortar to lock the bricks together when they are laid. Multiple holes or perforations in bricks make them lighter in weight & parallelly increases their strength. Because of perforations, medium for conduction of heat collapses which gives good thermal insulation. They have been observed as a good sound insulator as well. Perforated Bricks can be easily joined by mortar by simply placing a net on the surface where mortar need to be poured, which not only joins the two adjacent bricks but also restricts the mortar to fell in the cavities of the bricks retaining their holes vacant. These bricks are intentionally crafted to keep exposed to the environment without concealing them with plaster or color. Hence need no plastering or coloring which saves the capital & also gives the walls a terrific aesthetic appearance. Theses bricks lasts for centuries with no aging or fading of shades & blends. They are resistant to fire as well. The insulation property of the bricks can also be enhanced by filling the holes with good insulation materials. As they are non – combustible in nature, they can be used in fire walls & fire barriers. The perforations in bricks can be horizontal or vertical in single or multiple patterns. They have high compressive strength & absorbs least water. The Brick House’ offer huge varieties of Wire cut bricks with respect to sizes, shapes, colors, surface textures, fuels used for baking & type of perforation. These perforations may be cylindrical, square or rectangular. Our bricks are crafted on advanced machines, giving them a high level of precision & consistency.

2. Press Bricks
Press Bricks are the bricks made by pressing clay in mold cavity under a high hydraulic pressure. These bricks are used to construct the brick walls that are intentionally left uncovered by plaster or paint (they can be painted if required), and are used as decorative elements to provide structural support. They can be used in both internal & external spaces, and can complement a variety of architectural designs. They are durable to withstand weathering & thus gives a vintage feel to structure. Each piece of Exposed Press Brick is unique as it leaves a unique distinctive imprint & appearance while baking in furnace. Press Bricks, also known as Facing bricks are manufactured to be used as facing, to give pleasant & aesthetic look on the exterior of the wall. These bricks are different from other structural brickwork and carry a very clean and even appearance. These are primarily made to provide enhanced technical performance. High compressive strength and low water absorption are two of the major qualities of these bricks. Facing bricks offer a range of designs and textures that bring personality to a static structure, hence significantly increases the sale price of the property. These are best suited for Arches, pillars & dome as well. They never contribute to fire & have improved thermal insulation. Facing bricks require zero maintenance and any other kind of expenses. Additionally, it also prevents from rotting, warping, denting, fading, rusting, peeling or termites & are good energy efficient. Press bricks can be used to create textured and colorful facades that stand out. These are very durable, fireproof, and long-lasting. They also provide insulation for sound & heat. Creativity is the major advantage of these bricks. They can be rotated, stacked, extruded & recessed to create texture & relief. They can also be joined together using different types of ties. The bricks are highly resistant to frost and impact. The Brick House’ is a very well-known name for press bricks who offers 10+ varieties. Colors we offer are Red, Terracotta, Beige, Grey, Chocolate, Brown, Multi-Color, Orange, Yellow, etc. Various sizes & shades are available to suit your mood & project.

3. Hand Made Bricks
Handmade clay bricks are made by mixing clay & water, then this semi compound mixture of clay is hand-thrown into sanded molds, without the use of machines to compact or cut them. Hardening can be either a sun drying or firing in a kiln at high temperatures. They are known for their unique textures, wavy edges, and rough finish, and are often used in construction for their strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Each handmade brick has a distinct pattern on its face, resulting from the hand-throwing technique. Handmade bricks are generally less expensive than machine-cut bricks. Although the production of these bricks is labor-intensive and time-consuming. After drying, they are fired in a kiln or oven at high temperatures to harden and strengthen them. This process also gives them their characteristic reddish-brown color & makes them chemically stable & inert.
Handmade Bricks can be used in various applications such as Structural walls, exterior and interior walls, Load Bearing and RCC constructions, Chimneys and fireplaces, Porches and terraces, Outdoor steps, brick walks and paved floors, etc. Because of these applications, handmade clay bricks have been an unremoved part of early civilization to modern revolution. Bricks can be joined using mortar, adhesives or by interlocking. Low maintenance, energy efficient, durable, affordable & highly attractive textures are some of the key advantages of handmade clay bricks.
The color of fired clay bricks is influenced by the chemical and mineral content of the raw materials, the firing temperature, and the atmosphere in the kiln. For example, pink bricks are the result of a high iron content, white or yellow bricks have a higher lime content. Most bricks burn to various red hues; as the temperature is increased the color moves through dark red, purple, and then to brown or grey at around 1,300 °C.
‘The Brick House’ is a place where you can get more than 20 types of handmade bricks crafted on Indian & western standards. The mostly sold sizes are 9” x 4” x 3”, 9” x 6” x 4” & 9” x 6” x 3” respectively. We can also cater ‘London Stock Brick’ to our clients.

4. Acid Proof Bricks
Acid Proof Bricks also known as acid resistant or chemical resistant bricks, are a type of masonry brick that can withstand exposure to harsh substances, acids & corrosive chemicals. They are often used in industrial settings to protect against chemical corrosion. Acid proof bricks are made from a combination of quartz, feldspar, fire clay & binders (high silica shale). They are fired at high temperatures than those used for conventional bricks, often over 12000C.
Acid proof bricks are resistant to chemicals, alkalis & acids. They can also withstand heavy loads & high temperatures, and are abrasion – resistant. They are thermally durable as well. The finished brick, when fractured, appear with fine-grained in texture, dense and homogenous. These bricks are true to shape, sound, flat, and are free from flaws and other manufacturing defects affecting its utility. These are used for lining, flooring & walling in chemical or acid conditions. Good to use to construct floorings vulnerable to acid attack, the lining of chambers and towers in chemical plants, the lining of sewers carrying industrial effluents, etc., to prevent deterioration of the surface by acids.
At the brick house, we offer acid proof bricks in export quality with 6 different variants. The compressive strength can get around 890 Kg/cm2 & water absorption even lesser than 0.5%.
We have bricks in 2 classes:
1. Class I Bricks: These acid-resistant bricks are recommended for severe conditions of corrosive environments, as seen in pickling tanks, storage tanks, and heavy-duty floors subject to frequent contact with corrosives liquids.
2. Class II Bricks: These types of acid-resistant bricks are recommended for working areas and floors subject to occasional spillage of fumes, acids, and chemicals in fertilizer silos. These are also used for skirting and lining silos.
Advantages of our acid-resistant bricks:
1. Possesses features of high acid resistance, low water absorption rate, is not easily oxidized under room temperature, and does not get contaminated easily.
2. Can be used in chemical industries, such as ditch puzzle acid, acid wells, acid storage libraries, and acid impacted ground.
3. Cost-saving material when the special metals and alloys become uneconomical due to chemical attacks at high temperatures.
4. These acid-proof brick liners can lower concentration and temperature levels by making it feasible to use less expensive alloys.

Cladding Tile
Cladding generally refers to a thin depth brick, mostly used on a plastered surface as a cosmetic or decorative element to improve or enhance the appearance of building. Terracotta cladding is generally preferred where one needs to show an open & unplastered brickwork. These claddings give walls a vintage & classy clay look. They may also be used to hide the faces of lintel, columns, beams or any unwanted element made from cement.
Cladding tiles are used as a layer on top of the existing materials for walls, both interior and exterior that protect the spaces from weather changes, moisture and dampness. They can be used to protect the building against heat & noise. Terracotta Cladding tiles are light in weight and do not load the building too much. They are easy to cut and handle, quick & easy to install. They are fire retardant as well. Thus these claddings are an energy saving material.
‘Terracotta’ means “baked earth”, so as the claddings which are fired in a kiln to make them strong & inert. They give a good freedom to use in various patterns to create an artistic appearance. These are an eco-friendly product & easy to recycle. They boost up the brickwork, thus saving the time of construction. Aesthetics & insulation are the two main purposes of cladding tiles.

Roofing Tile
Mangalore tiles are a roofing element of a building structure, made of clay and are a popular traditional roofing material. They are used to provide ventilation of air & insulation of heat. Some of them are especially made to be used for roofing kitchens, allowing smoke to escape, and bathrooms. They have double and single grooves, which give a pleasing appearance and also work to interlock the adjacent tiles.
The tiles get their red color from the high proportion of iron compound found in the laterite clay. Painting can be done on Mangalore Roofing Tiles but it is not recommended due to their unglazed finish and porous nature. Clay tiles are commonly used in coastal areas and regions that experience heavy rainfall. Whereas, they can also be used anywhere worldwide. These tiles for a sloping roof offer water proofing in areas where it rains quite often. The Mangalore tiles are generally placed inclined at forty five degrees. More the slope is, better the look is.
Availability of technicians to install and maintain Mangalore roofing tiles is very easy & simple. They can be kept interlocked or overlapped, screwed or jointed with cement mortar. Clay tiles offer natural solar insulation, thereby reducing the expense on electricity for heating or cooling.
Mangalore tiles can be installed on a metal fabricated structure, wooden frame or an RCC slope roof for decoration purposes. Since these clay tiles are molded under extreme heat, they are resistant to destruction from fire.
Depending on the quality, Terracotta roofs can last as long as 50-60 years if they’re maintained properly. They are little weaker in high load impact. They also lack moisture and cold temperature resistance and hence, will require an underlayment replacement after 20 years. As they are unglazed on surface, they can pick up and store muck and dirt very quickly. Over a period of time, these tiles can become dark to black from constant exposure to soot and smoke. Even though, Mangalore Roof Tiles have been the most popular roof tiles for decades. Hence, we also sell a solvent base liquid to make tiles resistant to water absorption.
At ‘The Brick House’, sizes available are 9” x 15” & 10” x 16” respectively. We also have tiles in 5 types & 4 color variants in Mangalorian & Roman design patterns. We can also alter & produce material as per buyers need.Terracotta Floor Tiles are a natural, sustainable, an eco-friendly option that can be recycled at the end of its lifespan, used by centuries.

Terracotta Pavers
Terracotta pavers (also known as brick pavers) are made from fired clay that are known for their durability, color and can withstand a variety of conditions, including freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion, corrosion, and low water absorption. They are resistant to acids & alkalis. Pavers are typically placed on top of a foundation made of compacted stone and sand. The pavers are then placed in a pattern, and the space between them is filled with polymeric sand or mortar.
Terracotta pavers keep the exterior clean and leave it as the earth itself. Clay pavers neither absorb nor radiate the heat, thus providing thermal comfort and aesthetically pleasing walkways or courtyards. Choose terracotta pavers, which do not interrupt the natural flow of water and air and let nature co-exist with you.
Terracotta is an iron-rich clay that is extracted from the ground, shaped, and then fired in a kiln. The word “terracotta” comes from the Italian words terra (earth) and cotta (cooked or fired). Terracotta pavers are typically orange to reddish-brown in color. The color is determined by the clay material, firing time, and temperature. But at ‘The Brick House’, we offer clay pavers in various other colors as well, such as, Beige, Brown, Coffee, Dark Grey, etc.
The color of Terracotta paver are same throughout & never fades as they are obtained from firing of clay in kiln & not from any coloring agent or chemical. Clay Pavers are commonly used for paving gardens, patios, terraces, walkways, driveways, and parking lots. It is perfectly resistant to high temperatures, but also to frost, torrential rain, shocks and UV rays
