Differences Between Fly Ash Bricks & Red Bricks which is best

Water absorption. Fly Ash Bricks: Fly ash bricks typically have a lower water absorption rate, which is around 10 to 15%. The reduced water absorption also minimises the risk of efflorescence, which is the formation of white salt deposits on the brick surface. Thus, it lessens the risk of shrinkage and cracking during drying.
