Sun-dried brick, also known as adobe, is a building material made from mud, water, and straw. It has been used for centuries in arid regions of the world where there is a scarcity of timber and stone. There are many synonyms for sun-dried brick, including mud brick, clay brick, earth block, rammed earth, and compressed earth block. These materials are eco-friendly and sustainable, making them appealing to those who are looking for natural building options that have a low carbon footprint. In addition to being environmentally friendly, sun-dried bricks also have good thermal properties, keeping homes cool in the hot summer months and warm in the colder winter months.
