What is lightweight floating brick?
Light weight floating bricks are made of fly ash, rice husk ash, foaming agent and cement. These bricks can be used in all constructional activities. These are similar to common burnt clay bricks. Fly ash is accumulated as waste material in large quantity near thermal power plants and this can create serious environmental degradation. So it is used in manufacturing of bricks which not only creates ample opportunities for its proper and useful disposal but also helps in reducing environmental pollution. Production of commercial brick results in rough surface which is abrasive in nature. These are resistant to natural degradation. Light weight floating bricks can be used in waterproofing.

Benefits of light weight floating brick
1. It reduces much load on structure due to its light weight
2. The area covered by same number of floating bricks as that of clay bricks is more.
3. It has high fire insulation
4. Due to its high strength, no breakage is caused during transport and use
5. Amount of mortar required for joints and plaster is less
6. Seepage of water through bricks is less due to lower water penetration
7. Gypsum plaster can be directly applied to floating bricks without a backing coat of lime plaster
8. These bricks are not required to be soaked in water for 24 hours
Challenges
1. Mechanical strength can be low depending on mixture
2. Large size bricks can have more breakages if the materials are not mixed properly
3. Extra insulation is required in colder countries
