Why do hand-molded bricks retain heat better than modern materials?

CrimeaPRESS reports:

Hand-molded brick is a material that is becoming more popular among builders and owners of private houses. In this article we will look at why hand molded brick surpasses modern building materials in thermal insulation properties.

Structural features of hand-molded bricks

Hand-molded brick retains heat better due to its structure. Unlike mass-produced bricks (smooth and with a uniform texture), hand-molded bricks have a unique porous surface. During production, craftsmen can control the number of air cavities inside the material. The voids create additional insulation. Brick both absorbs and gradually retains heat.

Thanks to its porous structure, brick effectively accumulates heat and later distributes it evenly throughout the room, maintaining a comfortable temperature. In the cold months, such a brick is able to store heat, radiating it during the day, and in the summer, on the contrary, it slows down the heating process, helping to keep the inside cool.

Thermal conductivity and heat capacity of hand-molded bricks

Hand-molded brick has unique thermal insulation properties: low thermal conductivity and high heat capacity. Unlike modern synthetic materials (expanded polystyrene or metal-plastic), brick maintains a stable temperature in the house. This means no additional heating is required.

Sometimes using traditional brick can significantly reduce heating costs. Craftsmen using this material can create a wall that will maintain a comfortable microclimate without additional thermal insulation layers. This is true in regions with cold climates, where every degree counts.

Why are hand-molded bricks superior to modern materials?

1. Natural thermal insulation.
   Hand-molded brick is a natural thermal insulator that does not require additional coatings to improve thermal insulation. Synthetic materials require protection from external factors (for example, from moisture); brick retains its thermal insulation properties without additional effort.
2. Environmental friendliness and safety.
   This material is safe and environmentally friendly, as it consists of natural ingredients. Unlike plastic and synthetic materials, hand-molded bricks do not emit harmful substances, which means they are well suited for residential premises. It does not pollute the air and does not cause allergies, which is important for the health of residents.
3. Durability and stability.
   Hand-molded bricks are not subject to aging and can easily withstand extreme temperatures. Over the years, it does not lose its thermal insulation qualities, unlike some modern materials that can lose their properties over time, especially under the influence of external conditions.
4. Appearance.
   Hand-molded bricks differ from ordinary bricks in appearance. Each brick is unique and its texture gives a building personality and character. Depending on the production technology, brick comes in different shades and textures, which allows you to create aesthetically attractive facades that fit organically into any architectural style.

Hand-molded brick is a building material for those who value warmth and comfort in their home. If you want to create a cozy and warm home, hand-molded bricks are a reliable and long-term solution.
