  • cement commons

Cement bricks have their department of best performance, wet lands. These are from mixtures of riversand and cement mixed and sun dried. Our cement commons are suitable for use on any type of construction works. Their strength is great due to the main factor that they are machine pressed. They are slightly costly as compared to solid commons. When building in wet lands they are a great option for use on foundation walls below dpc. If there is need you can also use them for stages above dpc level. Cement commons are the best for foundations in wet lands as water does not affect them rather strengthens them.

Purpose made load bearing brick, great durability, with strength of premium quality. These are the best when working on big structures. We recommend them for use on all double storey structures and other multiple storey buildings. Load bearings have a unique look in appearance.

However depending on manufacturer not all of them may carry these marks, but when hit together they may produce a ringing sound. We retail them at the lowest rates nationwide

  • farms

Farm bricks are those we are familiar with from the old huts at our rural homes. These were in style during their reign however with improvement of standards people lost taste and interest in them. Farms are strong but not to the extends that they may be for use on modern day homes and any other building structures.

Use of bricks is also done according to what is indicated on your plan drawings.

These are an essential construction material. Though considered expensive but in the long run they tend to be cheap because they do not require maintenance as compared to other materials.

Why you should use a brick

Unlike other building materials, this is a product of natural materials.

Given that it is durable and proven for centuries to be an everlasting product, you can trust in it.

Lest there be fire outside, it is resistant with fire protection.

In case of winds, it offers high wind protection.

Brick looks better, for far longer and with less maintenance, than other building materials!
