Brick-B
Brick-B is a foldable and sustainable construction element saving space, time and energy.
You can buy folded Brick-B pieces in a box from a local shop and carry them in your car.Using Brick-B you can complete constructions or furnishings you plan in hours without leaving any waste or using any electric tools.Brick-B structures or walls can be easily dismantled and the pieces can be reused many times on different projects. When not in use Brick-B pieces take up to 10 times less space than traditional bricks. No adhesives or inserts are involved in the production and Brick-B pieces can be easily recycled.Thanks to its modular features Brick-B allows you to reorganise the internal structure to accommodate electric or data cables or water pipes. Tests conducted by TÜVRheinland Turkey Furniture Testing Laboratory in Inegöl prove that light-weight Brick-B walls are more flexible and stronger than traditional walls made from traditional materials such as gas concrete or hollow bricks.Brick-B is designed to perform better than the conventional walls during seismic activity.
