Sun dried bricks
Most homes in Rural India have mud walls that are made
with sun- dried bricks (Adobe as they are popularly
known). Unless mud bricks are sun dried for a long time,
they tend or are washed away by excessive moisture. Our
sun dried bricks are made from pressed earth that is
stabilized and strengthened with gravel, sand and cement.

 |
Mud, Cement and mud are mixed in the proportion of 2:1:1. Add 1/6th of this quantity of gravel to this mixture.
 |
 |
Once this mixture is compressed into shape, it is left to dry for a day.
 |
 |
After that, it is transferred to a water tank and is left to soak there for 8- 10 days.
 |
 |
The bricks are then stacked in the sun for at least 7 days before they are ready for use.
