Fly ash bricks vs Red Bricks | Groundreport | The New Normal

Mahendra Singh Bains, who makes bricks from fly ash in Sehore city of Madhya Pradesh, says that brick is the most important material in building construction and that the traditional bricks made of mud harm the environment a lot. That’s why he has set up a fly-ash brick plant in Sehore city. He says “this is a new business, and its trend will increase in the future.” Actually, fly-ash bricks are made up of 55% fly ash, 35% sand, and 10% cement. These can be used extensively in all building construction activities similar to common mud bricks, and have better properties than mud bricks. The special thing is that it is prepared from a waste product coming out of Industries and thermal power plants. There is less damage to the environment in its making process than red bricks. Red bricks are made in kilns, in which large quantities of coal and wood are used to prepare them. The smoke coming out of it harms the environment.
