Many Developers Use Lightweight Bricks To Strengthen Their Buildings
By PT JAYABRIX INDONESIA
Lightweight brick is now a material that is commonly used by building contractors or developers. The reason is, this material is considered capable of strengthening the building it makes. Lightweight brick made using Autoclave Aerated Concrete (AAC) technology has been tested to have better compressive strength than red brick. Therefore, the use of lightweight bricks can make the building more sturdy and durable.
"Now almost all projects use lightweight bricks for the walls. This is because they have been proven to be stronger and more durable. Apart from that, the construction process using lightweight bricks is also more efficient in terms of time," said Muhammad Arifin, one of the building contractor supervisors, Thursday (10/ 2/2022).
Arifin continued, using lightweight bricks can cut construction time. Because, in terms of size light bricks are much larger than red bricks. To make a 1m2 wall, the builder only needs to install 8 lightweight bricks. Meanwhile, if you use red brick, you have to install approximately 80 seeds.
The process of installing lightweight bricks is also relatively more practical and fast. Because, he uses cement mortar to glue between lightweight bricks. As is well known, cement mortar is instant cement which is only used by mixing with water. The thickness of the cement mortar dough is only 3 mm
"In addition, many of our clients currently want to use lightweight bricks in their buildings. Maybe they also want to shorten the construction time. So that the cost of building houses will be more economical," he added.
Efficiency of construction using lightweight bricks is also justified by the Support Team of PT. Jayabrix Indonesia. According to the company that produces lightweight bricks with reliable quality, the market demand for lightweight bricks also continues to increase.
"According to the trend, there is indeed an increase in demand in the market. Because lightweight bricks have many advantages. So now many are using them," said Naryo.
Apart from being sturdy and efficient, the use of lightweight bricks as a building material can also keep the temperature in the room cool. This is because light brick is a building material that resists heat from the outside. Light brick has low water absorption. So it's not easy to get damp especially in tropical climates like Indonesia. Another plus, light brick also has good soundproofing. So that noise from outside the building can be minimized from entering the room
With these various advantages, it is only natural that lightweight brick is currently the most widely used material by building contractors in the construction of office and residential buildings. However, what must be considered is to make sure to choose lightweight brick products from trusted manufacturers. This is because the large demand for lightweight bricks has resulted in a large number of lightweight brick products on the market. Choose lightweight brick products from manufacturers whose quality has been tested.
