Single-layer walls made of thermal-resistant thick bricks have significant advantages:

• Antiseismic protection
Single-layer walls’ big mass can absorb the seismic energy, thus improve the strength of the building.

• Resistance to fire
Single-layer walls show great resistance to fire and to very high temperatures, as it is shown through production process, under which bricks are baked at 1000 C degrees.

• Sound insulation
A. Sound transmitted through the air between bricks
B. Sound is transferred in the indoor environment of the building
C. Impact noise insulation

• Thermal regulation coverage
A. EN ISO 6946-1
Bricks wider than 25cm cover thermal specifications, as well as bricks’ pores play the role of indoor moisture regulators.

B. EN ISO 13786
Single-layer walls prevent building’ overheating during the summer, whereas increase artificial and natural cooling. Increasing thermal capacity of passive solar building designs - aka buildings that require little energy for heating in winter and minimum energy consumption for cooling in the summer time - is particularly important.

Therefore, the single-layer walls are not only appropriate for low energy buildings meeting indoor climate quality standards, but also with heat accumulation, longevity and flexibility characteristics.
