Dear Lakshminarayana,

My name is Rathod.
I am planning to construct the house in Gottigere. I am in dilemma whether to go with normal bricks or clay hollow bricks. following is my understanding for these two. Could you let me know which one would be better?

1. Normal bricks are load bearing. Hence house wall would be very strong where as clay bricks are non-load bearing. Wall would not be strong. And also walls will have some spaces between wall and wall beam.
2. Normal bricks are plastered. Hence life is more. Where as clay bricks are not plastered. Wear and tear seems to be more.
3. Normal bricks are plastered. This will does not catch the dust. Whereas clay bricks have small lines which would catch dust.
4. We can put screws in normal bricks wall where as not in clay bricks
5. When we go for electrical wiring, need to chisel the wall. This might damage more as it hollow.

Please let me know your view on above things.

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks !
Rathod.

Good morning Mr.Rathod
1.good quality country made normal bricks are always better for house construction & many clients choose bricks if they are building own house.
2.If you choose normal bricks you may not require columns you can directly transfer the dead load on walls.(which will save you substantial amount on steel & cement for column & column footings)
3.Other way of saving cost is use clay bricks(larger volume+faster construction+light weight) so that dead weight of total building is reduced & you could have lighter columns & beams & thus save on steel cost.one more point these clay bricks can be used as filler slabs to reduce concrete quantity.
4.Life for both type of bricks are same but it depends on where we are using for construction.
5.If you want more information(reg point 4 & 5) on clay bricks visit this link http://www.wienerberger.in/wall
