Earthen bricks are made of clay and are produced as perforated molds in traditional or industrial furnaces. Earthen bricks are manufactured in different thicknesses for different applications. The surface of the earthen blocks is grooved, which increases their adhesion to concrete.

Benefits of earthen bricks:

• Lighter than pressure bricks.
• Resistant to fire.
• Clay brick is an acoustic insulation because of the space it has.
• This type of brick is also suitable for thermal insulation.
• It has a small amount of scrap and is even used to break and shred it.
• This type of block is well bonded to concrete or metal structures.
• Another advantage of being inexpensive is that it still makes some manufacturers use it despite the disadvantages of earthen block.
• It's also economical to carry.
• Its availability can also be an advantage.

Disadvantages of earthen bricks:

• This type of block is likely to contaminate clay with lime in the mining plant, causing cracking on the plaster surface.
• Although earthen brick is lighter than press brick, it is a heavy earthen block structure with a weight of over 2 kg per square meter of clay wall.
• One of the most important disadvantages is the fragility of the block. Due to the fragility of the earthen block, its transportation and execution is highly fractured.
• Does not bear the burden of attachments such as cabinets, etc.
• Run time with earthen block is relatively long.
• Due to the small size of the earthen block, it takes a lot of time and energy to run these walls.
• Concrete penetrates easily into the earthen block holes.
