How to identify a good quality brick?
Here are some ways to test the quality of a brick:
- Clap test: Strike two bricks together, and they should produce a metallic “clink”.
- Drop test: Drop a brick from a height of 4 feet, and it should not break or crack.
- Crack test: Check that the bricks are even on all sides, smooth on the edges, and free of cracks.
- Water weight test: Weigh a dry brick, submerge it in water, and weigh it again after a long period of time. If the weight doesn’t increase by 15%, then it’s a good quality brick.
