Lighter, Stronger and Better Insulated Bricks from Timbercrete

strong light bricks

Timbercrete is an interesting and excellent material. It is a combination of timber waste (sawdust) from various sources and concrete. This combination results in a material that is lighter than solid concrete, but of greater strength and with better insulating capabilities.

Brick products are given an R rating which measures their thermal resistance. Some Timbercrete products can produce walls with R ratings of 3.7, which is higher than most other materials except strawbale.

Timbercrete is not a specific type of material, but rather a brand name of timber/concrete composite, and is available in bricks, blocks, pavers and panels.

Due to the fibre content in these bricks and blocks, the material can be screwed or nailed into directly, without the need for special fixings that are usually required in materials like AAC. The fibre gives it considerable strength, and it won't shatter when impacted like many other materials do.
