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.
