Verticaly Perforated Light Bricks with Pore Property - ClayMix®
What is ClayMix® ? Styrophor granules that have the size of 2 mm. diameter are mixed with clay before the wet extruding process. These granules are vaporised during the firing process and leaves spherical blank spaces behind at 1-1.5 mm. diameter size. These blank spherical spaces create resistance to heat flow within the brick material. Vertical faces of the bricks are shaped to work as mortise and tenon, so you don't use mortar to bond these faces.
What is the advantage of pore.? Total density of the brick is reduced. As a result of it: 1- Heat conductivity coefficiency of the brick is reduced %11 by pores. When you lay ClayFix® Heat Insulation Perlite Mortar to the horizontal faces of the bricks, the decrease of Heat conductivity coefficiency used for calculation reaches up to %33. 2-Total weight of the walls are reduced up to %12.5. 3-The transportation cost of the bricks from factory to construction area is reduced up to %12.5.
Strength.? All types of Verticaly Perforated Bricks are stronger than Horizontaly Perforated Bricks around three times. Their pressure resistance is higher than 75 kilograms per square centimeter. Verticaly Perforated type bricks help the ferro-concrete structure of the building not to stretch and recover shape to stand strong during the earthquake event.
Are ClayMix® and ClayFix® solutions enough alone for heat insulation.? Yes.! ClayMix® and ClayFix® solutions with different wall thicknesses are qualified by appropriate heat insulation calculations for many different climate regions.
Are ClayMix® and ClayFix® Solutions Universal.? Ofcourse..All ClayMix® Bricks are produced appropriate to European Standarts.

Heat Insulation Perlite Mortar: ClayFix®
Heat Insulation Perlite Mortar is used to bond blocks. Premixed Mortar is packaged in our factory. One pakcage is in 25 kilograms weight. The Package ingredients are: fired soil and perlite granules mixed by scale with lime and cement. Only water needed to prepare the mortar.
Our company, Kudret Tuðla A.Þ. has made the first attempt to produce Packaged Heat Insulation Perlite Mortar in Turkiye.
Improvement in Heat Conductivity Coefficiency used for calculations reaches up to %22, when you lay ClayFix® Heat Insulation Perlite Mortar to the horizontal faces of the bricks. Using ClayFix® Heat Insulation Perlite Mortar to bond any type of blocks like Pumice, Volcanic Ash or Concrete type blocks has the same effect on Heat Insulation Coefficiency improvment.
Please remember that: You protect the enviroment by using ClayFix mortar.
Required amount of ClayFix® Heat Insulation Perlite Mortar for different thickness of walls are shown below on the table.
| Wall Thickness |
Required amount of ClayFix® (Kg/m2 ) |
| 11,5 cm. | 3,5 |
| 14,5 cm. | 4,5 |
| 17,5 cm. | 5,5 |
| 19 cm. | 6 |
| 24 cm. | 7,5 |
| 30 cm | 8,5 |
Prepearing the ClayFix® Mortar: All you need is water to prepare the ClayFix® mortar. You have more time to use the mortar to bond your blocks if you have prepared the less amount of mortar. Advanced amount of prepared mortar is 25 Kgs.(dry mortar). Add 12 litres of water for each ClayFix® mortar package (25 Kgs).
