Clay bricks<\/h2>\n

The sustainable choice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Clay construction techniques and clay bricks have been known for over 9,000 years. Alongside wood, clay is considered one of the oldest building materials used by humanity.<\/p>\n

In modern times, clay as a building material is experiencing a remarkable resurgence. This is partly due to its outstanding CO2 balance, making it one of the most sustainable of all mineral raw materials.<\/p>\n

Additionally, its positive impact on living quality as a natural building material is increasingly being appreciated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    <\/span><\/div>

    Moisture-regulating<\/h4>

    Due to its high absorption capacity, clay can take in moisture and release it when necessary. This effectively regulates the humidity in the indoor air and significantly contributes to a healthy indoor climate. Clay is immune to mold.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Heat storage<\/h4>

    Clay stores heat very well, thus improving the living climate and contributing to energy savings when using passive solar energy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Optimal indoor climate<\/h4>

    Clay contributes to a pleasant living environment through its temperature-balancing, odor-neutralizing, and pollutant-absorbing properties.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Excellent energy balance<\/h4>

    Producing clay bricks requires only a fraction of the energy needed for the production of concrete or sand-lime bricks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    \"rundes<\/span><\/div>

    Clay is circular<\/h4>

    Clay building materials can always be reused after demolition and do not need to be disposed of. Clay is 100% recyclable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    \"rundes<\/span><\/div>

    Regional building material<\/h4>

    Clay is available in large quantities and can be sourced locally. Unlike rare raw materials, clay can be found almost everywhere. This allows it to be mined and processed regionally, resulting in short transportation distances.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Sound insulation<\/h4>

    Extruded clay bricks have a high raw density and therefore provide excellent acoustic insulation. Sound reductions of up to 60 dB SPL are possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    \"rundes<\/span><\/div>

    Long-lasting Preservation<\/h4>

    Clay bricks draw out excess moisture from surrounding materials, making them perfect for modern timber construction and for renovations and restorations in existing structures.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Fire Protection<\/h4>

    Clay bricks are non-combustible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Areas of applications<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

    Extruded clay bricks - also known as heavy clay bricks - have a high raw density.<\/p>\n

    Heavy clay bricks can be used for load-bearing and non-load-bearing interior walls, facing shells, as well as for wall infill and ceiling supports.<\/p>\n

    For exterior walls, they can only be used in combination with additional protection due to their high absorption capacity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
