POWER FLY ASH BRICKS
Fly Ash Bricks
We manufacture green and eco-friendly Power Fly ash bricks for construction. They are much stronger than ordinary Bricks. Power Fly Ash Bricks are composed of Fly Ash, Stone dust, Chips, Lime, Gypsum, Cement, and Additives in appropriate ratios which makes them durable and lightweight. We manufacture Fly Ash bricks on Automated Machine which are manufactured by hydraulic pressure and with German Based dual vibration system which gives it high strength.

Advantages
Light Weight
Eco Friendly
Cost Effective
Energy Saving
Easy Handling
Minimum Breakage
Durable
- It not only Saves Mortar but also very negligible wastage due to its uniform shape and size.
- Due to lower water penetration, seepage of water through bricks is considerably reduced.
- Gypsum Plaster can be directly applied on these bricks without backing coat.
- Fly Ash Bricks do not require soaking in water, sprinkling of water before use is enough.
Steps for laying Fly Ash Bricks
Prepare the Foundation: Start by preparing a level and compact foundation for the brickwork. The foundation should be made of compacted soil or concrete and should be slightly wider and deeper than the bricks.
Mix the Mortar: Mix the mortar by combining Portland cement, sand, and water in the proper proportions. The mortar should be wet enough to be spread easily but not so wet that it drips.
Lay the Bricks: Start laying the bricks from one corner of the foundation/wall, using the mortar to adhere them to the foundation and to each other. Use a spirit level to ensure that each brick is level.
Cut Bricks if Needed: Cut bricks to size if necessary, using a masonary saw or chisel and hammer.
Fill the Joints: Fill the joints between the bricks with mortar, using a trowel. Ensure that the joints are uniform and smooth.
Clean the Bricks: Clean the surface of the bricks with a damp cloth to remove any excess mortar.
Allow the Mortar to Dry: Allow the mortar to dry completely before continuing the brickwork. This may take several hours or overnight.
Repeat Steps 3-7 until the desired height is reached.
Do's
- 1. Use proper mortar mix: Use a mortar mix of cement, sand, and water to bond the bricks together and ensure a strong and durable structure, alternatively use Insta Masonary Bond.
- 2. Follow proper laying techniques: Follow proper masonary techniques when laying the bricks, including using a level, ensuring uniform joints, and cleaning the bricks after laying.
- 3. Check the quality of the bricks: Ensure that the bricks are of good quality, free from cracks and other defects, before laying them.
Don'ts
- 1. Do not use substandard mortar: Avoid using substandard mortar, such as using too much water or using a different type of cement, as this can weaken the structure and cause the bricks to fail.
- 2. Do not overload the structure: Do not overload the structure, as this can cause the bricks to crack or fail.
- Following these dos and don’ts will help ensure that fly ash bricks are used safely and effectively in construction and will help to ensure that the structure is strong, durable, and long-lasting.

Safety Measures
Safety Precautions While Fixing Fly Ash Bricks
- 1. Wear Protective Gear: Always wear gloves, eye protection, safety shoes, and a dust mask when handling fly ash bricks and mortar, to protect against dust and other particles that can be harmful to your health.
- 2. Use Safe Lifting Techniques: When lifting bricks, use proper lifting techniques to avoid injury. Get help from a partner if necessary, and use a wheel barrow if available.
- 3. Be Careful with Tools: Be careful when using tools, such as hammers, chisels, and saws, to cut or shape the bricks. Use the proper technique, and ensure that the tools are in good condition before using them.
- 4. Use Scaffolding Safely: If using scaffolding, ensure that it is properly installed and secure before climbing it. Always use a safety harness, and follow all safety regulations.
- 5. Avoid Electrical Hazards: Avoid electrical hazards by keeping electrical cords and tools away from the wet mortar and water.
- 6. Follow Safe Laying Techniques: Follow safe laying techniques when laying the bricks, including using a level, ensuring uniform joints, and cleaning the bricks after laying.
- 7. Store Bricks Properly: Store bricks in a dry and well-ventilated area, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
- By taking these safety precautions, you can reduce the risk of injury or harm while fixing fly ash bricks, and help to ensure that the job is completed safely and effectively.
