One and a half brick

One-and-a-half brick is an artificial stone of size 250x120x88 mm, made of mineral materials. It has the correct shape and has the properties of frost resistance, strength and water resistance. Its use in construction allows you to save material and time resources, as a result of which a positive economic effect is achieved.

It is called one and a half because it is larger than the standard one.

Standard brick - 250x120x65 mm., and one and a half - 250x120x88 mm.

Due to its larger size, it has many advantages, the main ones of which are:

cost savings due to the fact that you need to use less solution;
acceleration of the construction process.

It can be construction or facing brick.

Facing has several options for the side faces:

smooth,
fluted,
textured.

It is also possible to choose one or a combination of colors for specific purposes.

There are solid one-and-a-half bricks, and there are voids. Let us dwell on the last view in more detail.

Voids are added to reduce the use of raw materials in the manufacture, they occupy about 30% of the total volume.

However, everything is thought out in such a way that a one-and-a-half brick can withstand as much load as possible despite the presence of voids.

Solid ones have greater strength compared to hollow ones. But the price is also higher. On the other hand, a one-and-a-half brick with voids retains heat better in rooms due to the presence of air inside the wall.

Therefore, if you need to reduce the cost of building a building and speed up the process of erecting walls, then one of the ways to achieve these goals is to use one-and-a-half bricks. Due to the increased dimensions of 250x120x88 mm, significant savings in time and money are achieved.
