Cement Interlock 8 inch Bricks
Interlock bricks, also known as interlocking bricks, are specially designed bricks that fit together without the need for mortar. They have interlocking grooves and ridges on their sides, allowing them to be easily assembled and locked into place. This design provides stability, strength, and a more straightforward construction process, making them popular for building walls, pavements, and other structures. Interlock bricks are often made from various materials such as concrete, clay, or recycled materials, and are valued for their eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use in construction projects.

Description
Description
- Materials: Typically made from a mix of cement, sand, and stone dust or soil.
- Compression: The mixture is compressed in a hydraulic machine to create dense, strong bricks.
- Curing: The bricks are cured for a period after manufacturing to ensure durability.
- Interlocking mechanism: Each brick has a projection on one side to fit into a depression on the next brick, creating a self-locking system.
Key features
- No mortar needed: The interlocking design allows for dry-laying, which eliminates the need for cement mortar between bricks.
- Fast construction: The self-locking feature allows for quicker wall building compared to traditional bricks.
- Versatile: Used for various types of construction and are available in different shapes and sizes.
- Cost-effective: Reduces costs by saving on cement and labor, and some walls may not require internal plastering.
Benefits
- Durability: They are durable, strong, and have a long lifespan when properly manufactured and maintained.
- Strength: The tight interlocking joints can provide better resistance to earthquakes than conventional brickwork.
- Eco-friendly: Considered a more eco-friendly alternative as some types use soil as a primary component.
- Thermal efficiency: The compressed structure and high density provide excellent thermal mass, helping to keep indoor temperatures cooler in hot climates and lowering energy bills.
- Aesthetic options: Once laid, the walls can be painted or polished without the need for an interior plaster finish.
