The wonder product that’s significantly lighter, more durable and faster to construct – with natural resistance to noise and extreme weather conditions
Faster Build
Water Resistant
Lighter Than Traditional Bricks
Excellent Acoustic Properties
NO MORE ‘COLD-BRIDGES’
The extensive UK housebuilding agenda and efforts to build the economy post-COVID are just some of the factors placing renewed pressure on build times.
Coupled with rapidly evolving zero-carbon regulations and the increasing frequency of extreme weather conditions caused by climate change, those working in the construction industry – as well as private individuals – face their most trying times ever when it comes to keeping up with these combined demands.
Added to this, legislation is constantly moving the goalposts when it comes to the standards developers need to meet, as users’ expectations increase around the comfort, longevity, sustainability and robustness of their built environments.
‘Cold bridges’, which allow moisture and cold air to ingress into properties, exacerbated by traditional materials like moisture-absorbent cement and mortar, will soon be outlawed.
Our expanded clay brick building systems use a specially formulated, water-resistant foam mortar alternative called Tytan Cement from foundation level, eradicating such problems.
So, whether your project is big or small, you’ll be pleased to hear that we can offer a radical alternative, in the form of expanded clay bricks.
MORE STRENGTH, LESS WEIGHT
Expanded clay bricks are much lighter than traditional clay bricks – meaning that more can be transported in every load, reducing cost and timescales for delivery – as well as creating less fatigue among your busy workforce.
Expanded clay bricks also have more strength than traditional clay bricks – eradicating the limits on how high you can go in each build stage before allowing drying time.
They are also superbly resistant to water and damp, removing the threat of cold bridges to maximise the heating efficiency of properties and offer excellent resistance against weather extremes like flooding.
BRICKS OR BLOCKS
Available in various sizes, as bricks or blocks, expanded clay bricks are perfect for any height of buildings.
We can also supply acoustic blocks, which have excellent noise-cancelling properties without the need to install additional sound-proofing, for use in developments such as apartment buildings, saving the cost and space required for the kinds of additional materials typically used in combination with traditional bricks.
Not only that, but expanded clay bricks are so water-resistant, they can even be used to build structures in water or water-saturated environments. And the thermal versions we supply are fantastic for saving energy and helping to regulate temperatures in more extreme environments.
