| General comment | Unfired GIMA clay bricks provide a sustainable solution in construction, combining ecological benefits with functional properties. They are fully recyclable, as clay masonry bonded with clay mortar and finished with clay plaster can be seamlessly reintegrated into the raw material cycle. Even broken material can be reused, for instance, in the production of new bricks, thereby minimizing the need for additional raw material extraction. The extraction of clay is conducted in a resource-efficient manner by first removing the fertile topsoil, with immediate renaturation and reclamation of depleted extraction sites. Furthermore, the natural properties of the material contribute to a balanced indoor climate, fostering a sense of tranquility and closeness to nature. Unfired clay bricks thus represent an environmentally friendly and forward-looking choice for construction projects. GIMA vertically perforated clay bricks can be used for residential buildings in building class 4 in accordance with DIN 18945. GIMA thus offers the market a mass-produced, industrially producible and affordable building material which, as a recyclable product made from 100 percent clay. |
