Fly Ash Bricks
overall review score: 4.2
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Fly-ash bricks are a type of building material made from fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion in thermal power plants. These bricks are produced through a process of mixing fly ash with cement, water, and sometimes other additives, then compressing or curing the mixture to form solid bricks. They are widely used in construction due to their durability, environmental benefits, and cost-effectiveness.
