Less material, more possibilities – DEPPE Lean Bricks®
New at DEPPE: waterstruck facing bricks in the Lean Brick® format. Compared with conventional facing bricks, Lean Bricks have a depth reduced by 5 cm – a reduction of more than 40 per cent.
The new dimensions: 240 × 65 × 71 mm
The advantages:
-
around 40% less material volume and weight
-
reduced material and transport requirements
Less is ... less
From clay extraction to installation on site, DEPPE Lean Bricks® require:
-
less raw material
-
less energy for drying and firing
-
less transport capacity per square metre of façade
-
less mortar and jointing material
The reduced material input also helps lower energy consumption and CO₂ emissions during production and transport.
The lower weight makes handling on site easier and can simplify construction processes.
Less is ... more
Lean Bricks® offer:
-
more usable floor space thanks to slimmer bricks, and more room for insulation without increasing the overall wall thickness – ideal for urban construction projects, for example
-
new design possibilities for brick façades
What stays the same
-
Lean Bricks® meet high aesthetic standards and can be manufactured in a range of waterstruck colours as well as in extruded versions.
-
The appearance of a façade built with standard-format bricks
-
Durability
-
Recyclability – all DEPPE bricks are, and always have been, fully recyclable, whether through reuse as bricks or as a secondary raw material for the production of new bricks
Lean Brick® combines significantly reduced material use with new design possibilities for brick façades – without compromising on quality or design.
