Introducing Thermobricks
The Smarter Way to Build
Hollow Bricks is a multicellular hollow clay block walling system designed for better economics, efficiency, and performance.
The holes in the brick make it lighter and easier to handle than traditional bricks, providing higher thermal insulation and offering a smarter, sustainable, better choice.
Equivalent to 9 bricks to achieve 3m storey height within a day.
55% lighter than conventional bricks making it easier & faster to lay.
The wall can be left exposed; saving plaster, paint and maintenance costs.
Substantial savings on structural cost due to less dead load.
Uniform block size helps optimise the number required, resulting in less on-site wastage.
Uses 95% less water than traditional methods.
Stronger than conventional bricks.
<15% water absorption ensures minimal risk of dampness, cracks or shrinkage of walls.
Excellent thermal & sound insulation.

less dead load
Hollow blocks, being 60% lighter, significantly reduce building weight, offering cost savings on foundations, steel, and construction due to faster assembly with a lighter framework.
Reduced Mortar Usage:
The larger size of these blocks means fewer joints, which decreases the amount of mortar required for construction.
Cost effectiveness
Thermal Insulation:
The air pockets in hollow blocks provide good thermal insulation, helping to maintain cooler indoor temperatures and reducing energy costs for air conditioning.
Sustainable Manufacturing:
Clay is a natural material that often comes with energy-efficient production methods, making these an eco-friendly option.
Energy Efficiency
Lightweight:
The reduced weight of hollow blocks makes them easier to handle and reduces the load on the foundation and structure, helping in cost savings.
Sound Insulation:
The air gaps in hollow blocks also provide sound insulation, improving the acoustic comfort of the buildings.
Structural Advantages
Ease of Installation:
Larger block sizes and lighter weight allow for faster construction compared to traditional bricks.
Versatility:
Suitable for various types of buildings, including residential, commercial, and institutional structures.
Construction Efficiency
residential buildings
Ideal for constructing low-rise affordable housing projects due to their cost effectiveness and energy efficiency.
Suitable for single-family homes, providing thermal comfort and durability.
Community Housing Projects
Used in government-sponsored housing projects to provide affordable living spaces with good environmental performance.
Employed in social housing schemes to quickly build durable and comfortable homes.
