Welcome to Shirke Bricks & Blocks
Welcome to Shirke Bricks & Blocks , India’s leading fly Ash brick manufacturer and supplier. We are in the field of fly Ash brick making since last 16 years in Pune,MaharAshtra,India. |
The fly Ash brick technologies are eco friendly, reduces solid waste and dust in the nature. These bricks have a pleasing colour like cement, are uniform in shape and smooth in finish, also,
they require no plastering for building work. The bricks are of dense composition, uniformly shaped with/without a frog, free from visible cracks, warp-age, organic matter, pebbles and nodules of free lime. They are lighter in weight than ordinary clay bricks and less porous too. The colour of fly Ash bricks can be altered with the addition of admixtures during the process of brick making. They come in various sizes, but generally are similar to the sizes of clay bricks. Compared to hollow brick and clay brick the fly Ash brick cost is also reasonable.
These bricks can provide advantages being available in several load-bearing grades, savings in mortar plastering, and giving smart looking brickwork. High compressive strength eliminates breakages/wastages during transport and handling, the cracking of plaster is reduced due to lower thickness of joints and plaster and basic material of the bricks, which is more compatible

with cement mortar. Due to its comparable density the bricks do not cause any extra load for design of structures and provides better resistance for earthquake loads due to panel action with high strength bricks. Compressive strength of fly Ash sand lime bricks is av. 7.5 N/mm2 (as against 3.50 N/mm2 for handmade clay bricks).
Fly Ash bricks have a good fire rating. It has no problems of vermin attacks or infestation. It also provides an acceptable degree of sound insulation.
Fly Ash contains unhealthy elements – silica, aluminum, iron oxides, calcium, magnesium,
arsenic, mercury, and cadmium, and poses serious environment and health hazards for a large
population. But the brick is better off, for fly Ash changes into a non-toxic product when mixed
with lime at ordinary temperature as the calcium silicate hydrates and forms a dense composite
inert block. Thus having the potential as a good building material. Therefore now a days construction sector prefers use of fly Ash bricks. This is one of the global go-green initiatives, and we Shirke Bricks are an active member of the same. This noble cause is supported by manufacturing and supplying bricks made from re-usable fly Ash.
Use fly Ash bricks and save the environment!
