Interlocking Bricks

Interlocking Bricks

Interlocking bricks are bricks that have been designed to fit into each other. Each brick has a protrusion at one end and a depression at the other end which enables them to fit perfectly like jigsaw puzzles. Each brick is designed to have vertical holes which means, not only saving on the amount of materials used in its production but also allowing metal rods to be inserted or cement to be filled in to increase its structural strength during construction.

There are two main types of interlocking bricks named after the material used in its manufacture. The soil to cement ratio of the soil cement interlocking bricks is in the range of 1:6 to 1:10. The ratio of cement to sand to gravel of the concrete interlocking bricks is 1:5:3.

Today, the interlocking brick system is internationally recognised for its role in the construction industry. Interlocking bricks system may have the answers to some construction issues using conventional materials.
