Introduction: 

 

Generally, the process of building a house involves the tedious process of laying the bricks available in the market, in the appropriate configuration, joining them by means Of mortar, followed by whitewashing or plastic painting as desired. Plastic painting is a still more cumbersome process in the sense that it first involves coating the brick wall with plaster of Paris followed by the plastic painting.  We intend to make this job of the builder easier by powder coating the bricks.

 

 

OBJECTIVE:

 

Our project aims at making a special kind of brick which imparts a decorative fervor apart from serving its usual purpose. Building a wall through such bricks would simply involve joining them by means of mortar.

We have developed these bricks by preheated the bricks, coating them with epoxy powder, followed by firing or curing. apart from being decorative, these bricks have several other advantages.

 

CONCLUSION :

We made inexpensive epoxy powder coated Decorative Brick which can be used for decoration of building, offices, home etc. Our Decorative Brick is durable, stain free and washable. We can make repetitive design of Decorative Brick. Decorative Brick's coated face is nonstick to ordinary mortar. We can use different shade, color and design for variety or demand by user. Water absorption test gave positive results so there is no risk in using the Decorative Bricks. Mass scale production of Decorative Bricks would cost less.
