Classification of Bricks

Bricks can be categorized based on their various characteristics. For example, they can be classified by their chemical composition, their application, their method of production, or even by their color.Modern methods today have provided architects with numerous technical tools and abundant resources. Despite their modernity, these tools serve as a means of expressing the architects’ sensitive and aesthetic spirit. Of course, bricks are not the only medium through which this artistic spirit can be expressed; many other elements can also fulfill this purpose. However, the difference lies in the fact that bricks have the versatility to meet any objective. Even after centuries, they remain modern and timeless.A brick building is a part of nature. It not only harmonizes with its surroundings but also adds unique tones and forms to the environment. Despite the passage of time, brickwork has never become outdated and continues to evolve with the times. In a way, a brick building is like a handwoven carpet—a unique combination of the boundless creativity and tastes of skilled architects.

Clay Bricks

Clay bricks are among the oldest building materials produced by humans. While stone is abundant and durable, it is not easily accessible. Natural materials do not readily take on desired shapes, and significant costs are incurred to make their pieces uniform, often resulting in considerable waste.In contrast, the clay derived from soil, which is the source of brick production, easily takes on the desired shape, yielding a homogeneous product. Therefore, by molding the clay and firing it, one can produce hard materials with consistent physical, mechanical, and chemical properties tailored to specific applications. This process aligns with human physical needs and allows for simple, rapid production and easy transportation.

Types of Non-Clay Bricks and Their Forms

In the classification of bricks, josh bricks are a specific type used in the brick and tile industry, particularly significant in industrialized countries. These bricks are utilized for various applications, including building facades, paving sidewalks, covering the walls and floors of drainage systems, sewers, tunnels, and constructing chimneys, as well as flooring in factories, agricultural warehouses, and livestock barns.

Special Types of Bricks Produced in European Countries

Certain bricks produced in industrialized European countries have not yet become common in Iran. These include hollow fireproof blocks designed for installation around columns to prevent fire penetration, specialized pieces shaped like curves and domes, caps for walls, and components such as corner blocks and other elements that are still not manufactured in Iran.

Fireproof Bricks

Fireproof bricks are used in the inner lining of industrial furnaces due to their high thermal resistance. There are various types of fireproof bricks, which can withstand different temperature ranges depending on the materials used in their composition. Until the 1960s, carbon and refractory clay were used for furnace linings, but today, various types of industrial fireproof bricks are employed for this purpose.For the latest prices on fireproof bricks, please contact us at 09122252026 or call 22643971.
