1. CLAY TILES
Introduction
FIRST KNOWN CLAY ROOFING TILE CAN BE TRACED ALL THE WAY
BACK TO CHINA AROUND 10000 YEARS BC.
• ALSO WE CAN SEE HOUSE MODELS FROM INDUS VALLEY
CIVILIZATION SHOW THAT HOUSES WERE FLAT ROOFED. AND
HARAPPAN SITES SUCH AS ALAMGIRPUR PROVIDE EVIDENCE
OF ROOF CLAY TILE.
CLAY TILES : THESE ARE STRUCTURAL UNITS MOULDED FROM
CLAYS IN SUITABLE SHAPES AND BURNT TO VITRIFICATION
TEMPERATURES,THESE DIFFER FROM ORDINARY BRICKS IN
• DIMENSIONS
• SHAPE &
• DEGREE OF BURNING

2. process
RAWMATERIALS PREPARATION AND SHAPING
• AFTER EXTRACTION FROM QUARRIES, THE CLAY RAW MATERIAL
IS LAID OUT IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A HOMOGENOUS MIXTURE.
• IT IS STOCKFEILD, THEN CRUSHED TO ATTAIN THE REQUIRED
GRAIN SIZE AND FINALLY STOCKFEILD AGAIN FOR SEVERAL DAYS
OR EVEN MONTHS.
• MOISTURE CONTENT IS CONTROLLED BEFORE PROCESSING ,AT
THIS STAGE IT MAY BE CONSISTENCY FOR FORMING.
• RAW DUST CAN BE ADDED TO INCREASE THE PORORITY OF THE
FINAL PRODUCT.
DRYING AND FIRING
• THE SHAPED CLAY PRODUCT IS FIRST DRIED IN ORDER TO
REDUCE ITS MOISTURE CONTEST AND THEN LOADED INTO
KILNS FOR FIRING.
• HIGH – TEMPERATURE FIRING GIVES THEIR EXCEPTIONAL
PROPERTIES,LONG LIFE SPAN AND DURABILITY.
• DRYING AND FIRING ARE THE MOST ENERGY INTENSIVE STEPS
OF MANUFACTURING

3. MANUFACTURE
1. SELECTION OF SUITABLE CLAY :
• CLAY SHOULD BE COMPLETELY FREE FROM GRIT, PEBBLES AND OTHER
ORGANIC MATTER.
2. PREPARATION OF CLAY :
• IT IS DONE BY MIXING WATER WITH CLAY IN A TANK AND STORING IT
IN DAMP CONDITION.
• THE SOLUTION IS THEN ALLOWED TO STAND QUIETLY IN THE TANK
RESULTING IN THE SETTING AND LEAVING OF COARSE PARTICLES.
• WATER CONTAINING CLAY IN SOLUTION IS RAINED OFF TO OTHER
TANKS WHERE IT IS ALLOWED TO DRY LEAVING CLAY READY FOR
MOULDING.
3. MOULDING :
• IT IS DONE ON THE GROUND SPECIALLY PREPARED FOR THAT
PURPOSE.
• THE MOULDEN SPRINKLE ASHES OVER THE CLAY, START TO MOULD
ACCORDING TO REQUIRED SIZE OF TILES ON THE SMOOTH AND
LEVELLED SURFACE.

4. 4. DRYING AND SHAPING.
• TWO DAYS AFTER MOULDING, THE TILES ARE GIVEN PROPER SHAPE AND THEN THEY ARE PLACED ON
THEIR EDGES AND DRIED FOR 2 MORE DAYS.
5. BURNING.
• BURNT TO MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE 2200 DEGREE F FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS. THIS IS REPEATED FOR
SECOND TIME.
6. COOLING.
• AFTER BURNING, COOLING IS DONE IN 3 TO 5 DAYS.

5. TYPES
• CLASSIFIED INTO 4 GRADES : PORCELAIN. NON –
PORCELAIN. CERAMIC. TERRACOTTA.
• EACH CLASSIFICATION IS DIFFERENTIATED BY LENGTH OF
TIME AND THE TILE IS FIRED DURING THE
MANUFACTURING PROCESS.
1.PORCELAIN.
• COMMONLY USED TO COVER FLOORS AND WALLS, WITH
A WATER ABSORPTION RATE OF LESS THAN 0.5%
• IT IS SIMILAR TO CERAMIC AND IT IS FACT CONSIDERED
• A TYPE OF CERAMIC
• IT HAS 50% FELDSPAR
2.NON – PORCELAIN.
• THESE ARE USUALLY MADE FROM RED AND WHITE CLAY.
• THEY ARE SOFTEN THAN PORCELAIN TILES.
• THEY ARE NOT DURABLE AND WATER RESISTANT

6. 3.CERAMIC.
• CERAMIC TILES ARE MIXTURE OF CLAYS AND OTHER NATURAL
MATERIALS.
• MATERIALS, SUCH AS SAND, QUARTZ AND WATER.
• THEY ARE EASY TO FIT, EASY TO CLEAN, EASY TO MAINTAIN.
4.TERRACOTTA.
• IT IS A CLAY-BASED UNGLAZED OR GLAZED CERAMIC.
• IT IS MADE FROM FIRED RED-BROWN CLAY.
• IT IS NOT NATURALLY WATERPROOF

10. SAFETY MEASURES :
• WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AT ALL TIMES WHILE WORKING IN THE LAY MIXING ROOM AND BE
EXCEPTIONALLY CAREFUL IN CLEANING UP AFTER MIXING.
• USE THE DUST COLLECTOR AT TIMES.
• WEARE A DUST MASL AT ALL TIMES.
• USED SPRAY BOTH FILTERS FOR CERTAIN GLAZES MAY HAVE TO BE TREATED AS TOXIC WASTE.
• MAKE SURE THAT THE EXHAUST OF THE SPRAY BOOTH IS VENTED SO THAT IT DOES NOT POLLUTE SOMEBODY
ELSES BREATHING AIR.CONSULT DEOE CODES FOR INSTALLATION GUIDELINES.

11. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
• ECONOICAL ( RAW MATERIALS IS EASILY AVAILABLE)
• HARD AND DURABLE .
• COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH IS GOOD .
• DIFFERENT ORIENTATION AND SIZE GIVE DIFFERENT
SURFACE TEXTURES.
• LOW MAINTANCE .
• DEMOLISHING OF BRICK STRUCTURES IS VERY EASY.
• REUSABLE AND RECYCLABLE.
• HIGH FIRE RESISTANCE.
• PRODUCE LESS ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION DURING
MANUFACTURING PROCESS.
• TIME CONSUMING CONSTRUCTION.
• CANNOT BE USED IN HIGH SEISMIC ZONES.
• VERY LESS TENSILE STRENGTH.
• ROUGH SURFACE OF BRICKS MAY CAUSE MOLD
GROWTH IF NOT PROPERLY CLEANED.
• CLEANING BRICK SURFACES IS A HARD JOB.
• SINCE BRICKS ABSORB WATER EASILY, THEREFORE,
IT CAN CAUSES FLUORESCENCE WHEN NOT
EXPOSED TO AIR.

LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THE MATERIAL DOESN’T GET ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY ULTRAVIOLET RAYS
OF THE SUN.
• STRENGTH AND DURABILITY - BRICK PAVER IS USED FOR DIFFERENT LANDSCAPING PROJECTS SUCH
AS VEHICLE DRIVEWAYS, MUNICIPAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS
BECAUSE IT IS DURABLE AND HARD IN NATURE. IT HAS THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND VERY HIGH
LOADING LEVELS.
• ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY - BRICK PAVER IS MADE USING NATURAL CLAY MATERIAL, WHICH
AUTOMATICALLY TURNS THE PRODUCT INTO AN ECO-FRIENDLY OPTION. THE ADVANTAGES OF
