POROTHERM BRICKS

• Made from Natural clay, POROTHERM products
  provide a healthy and comfortable living
  environment with a complete absence of pollutants
  and without sacrificing thermal efficiency.
• Porotherm evens out temperature variations
  through thermal capacity effects, to protect
  against cold in winter and ensure a comfortable
  and healthy room in summer.
• Their low moisture retention and fast drying
  properties optimise thermal protection, whilst
  gradual release of stored passive solar energy
  reduces heating cooling costs.

3
STRENGTH AND EASE OF USE

• High compressive strength and is also easy to
  chase and chisel for electrical and plumbing
  conduits making it simple to install all types of
  fixtures (geysers, air conditioners, cabinets,
  closets etc).
• Unlimited Life and Maximum Fire Protection
• An exceptionally long life with zero maintenance
  and is highly fire.
• Resistant (it is fired at 1000º C), with a fire
  rating of F240 ( 240 minutes ).

DRY FIX SYSTEM.

• Wienerberger  has introduced A technological
  innovation in the field of construction and
  masonry
•    Porotherm Dry fix. System - a quick-fix system
  that does away with conventional mortar, thus
  enabling faster construction and significant cost
  saving.
• Dry fix resolves all masonry related issues
  like unavailability of sand and water and best of
  allDry fix keeps your construction site
  spotlessly clean

5
ADVANTAGES OF DRY FIX SYSTEM

• Ready-to-use and easy to transport  (unlike
  mortar system)
• Facilitates faster construction - saves time
  labour cost, helps quick completion of projects
• Conducting, chasing and plastering can begin the
  very next day (after Dry fix construction)
• Enables savings on resources such as sand and
  water does not require curing
• Ensures clean and dry work site. Does not leave
  debris to be transported or disposed
• Allows completely concealed fixing of brick
  ridges and provides a tidy finish .
• Mason-friendly system easy to assemble and
  easy to apply.
•

U Value 0.6 W/m2K

• U Value 0.6 W/m2K makes POROTHERM THERMO BRICK
   the best available energy efficient brick in the
  market.
• U Value is the measurement of the rate of
  heat loss through a material. The lower the U
  Value, the lesser the energy required for cooling
  or heating the indoors.

7
Porotherm Vertically Perforated load bearing
bricks

• A hallmark of design and ingenuity when it comes
  to cost effective, safe and green construction
  practices. This new age wall solution helps you
  save on your steel and concrete expenditures as
  it allows buildings to be constructed without RCC
  frame structures. Ideal for up to Ground 3
  floors.
•  
• The product is robust and 100 natural with
  Thermal insulation property promoting comfortable
  indoor climate all year round.

8
ADVANTAGES

• High compressive strength bricks 7 N/mm2
• Enables Load Bearing construction
• Savings of structural cost as the concept
  eliminates the columns
• Faster construction
• High value retention
• Excellent thermal Insulation.
• Good in sound insulation
• Green Building material environmental friendly
  and sustainable
• Technical support in construction process

POROTHERM LOAD BEARING AND NON LOAD BEARING INNER
WALLS

• Advantages of non load-bearing walls

• Advantages of load-bearing internal walls

• uniform plastering base
• high level of fire, sound and heat protection
• simple and safe fixing options
• high static safety

• uniform plastering base across the entire basic
  construction (external and internal walls)
• high level of fire protection (F90 with a wall
  thickness starting at just 8 cm)

POROTHERM THERMO BRICKS

•  POROTHERM THERMO BRICK has borrowed the
  principle of thermal insulation from nature, to
  become a unique walling material - one that keeps
  the interiors cool in summer and warm in winter!

13
ADVANTAGES OF THERMOBRICKS

• Thermal Insulation
• Specially formulated insulating material gives it
  a U Value of 0.6 W/m²K , which results in
  superior thermal insulation that greatly improves
  the indoor comfort of the building.
• Energy Saving
• Eliminates the cost for installing external
  insulation, cavity walls with external insulating
  membranes and reduces use of cooling devices such
  as A/C in hot climate and heaters during the cold
  climate.
•  

14
ADVANTAGES OF THERMOBRICKS

• Healthy Living
• 100 natural clay product  with natural additives
  like coal ash, rice husk and granite slurry. No
  toxic or any chemical additives are used, thereby
  making it free from toxic gases and fumes that
  can cause allergies and other health problems.
• Light Weight and Faster Construction
• 60 lighter than conventional walling material,
  thus allowing faster construction, ease of
  handling and improved productivity in masonry. It
  also contributes to substantial savings on
  structural cost due to reduction in dead load.
