Hollow bricks for perfect 9 inch brick wall construction

Being in the construction business for the longest time the basic queries stated by the customers in the planning phase, are regarding the width of the different walls and material to be used for it. There are two dimensions of bricks mostly used in constructing walls for residential buildings; 4.5-inch thickness and 9-inch thickness. To create more room space, customers demand 4.5-inch thick walls but, any experienced constructor would suggest against this option. A 4.5-inch thick brick wall is suitable for partition walls only. Also, it should not be more than 7 feet in height or else it can hinder the structural safety if some load is imposed. Therefore, 9-inch brick wall construction is the most appropriate way recommended by experts.

The material used to construct the walls can make a huge difference in its stability, maintenance expenditure, and construction cost. Hollow bricks are one of the best inventions of recent times as the construction industry is moving from moulding processes to extrusion processes. Now instead of moulding clay, holes are extruded in brick units which makes the manufacturing of bricks more material-efficient and construction more cost-effective.

Some of the desired advantages of hollow clay bricks are:

• They provide structural components and smooth brick finish without the use of any additional material.
• The weight of machine-made hollow clay bricks is 60% lesser than the cement block of the same size.
• The compressive strength of hollow bricks is comparatively higher than other load bearing masonry materials

This makes the hollow clay bricks an intelligent choice for appropriate 9-inch brick wall construction.
