Fly Ash Brick: These Bricks are made from cement, slag, fly ash.
Red Bricks: Red Bricks are manufactured form Clay Soil
Fly Ash Brick: Fly ash brick has Cement grey color
Red Bricks: Redbrick has the color red to light brown depending upon the type of clay used.
Fly Ash Brick: Fly Ash Bricks has compressive strength – 75 to 100 kg/cm²
Red Bricks: Red Brick has compressive strength – 30 to 35 kg/cm²
Fly Ash Brick: Fly Ash Bricks wastage on site is around 2 – 5 %
Red Bricks: Red Brick wastage on site is more than
10 %
Fly Ash Brick: Fly Ash Bricks has Water Absorption of about 6 -12 %
Red Bricks: Red Brick has Water Absorption of about 20 – 25 %
Fly Ash Brick: Fly Ash Bricks Weight is 2.6 kg
Red Bricks: Red Brick Weight is 3.5 kg
Fly Ash Brick: Fly Ash Bricks Cost is about Rs. 4 to 6
Red Bricks: Red Brick Cost is about Rs. 5 to 8

Why Fly Ash Bricks are better than Red Bricks:
= Fly ash bricks are lighter in weight and less costly than Clay bricks.
= Fly Ash bricks consume only 65 kg cement for the construction of 1 m³ of brickwork which is less compare to red brick.
= By using fly ash brick we can reduce cement consumption up to 50 % as these brick walls not required plastering on both sides.
= High compressive strength, fewer pours and light-weighted compared to clay bricks.
= In high-rise building when structural load increase, this brick has lightweight helps in reducing stress on building
= Absorb less water compare to red bricks
= It is cheaper than the red bricks.
= Fly ash bricks are made of waste materials that come from the combustion of coal in thermal power plants. Clay bricks are made of clay which is collected from fertile land or the topsoil. This is the prime reason that makes Fly ash bricks more preferable than Clay bricks.

Conclusion:

In all aspects fly, ash bricks are better than clay bricks. They are environment-friendly because maximum constituent is ash and fly ash bricks has greater strength as compared to red bricks.
