what are bricks made from?

Question

I need to know what bricks are made from and how they are made

Answer 1

clay

Answer 2

Bricks are made from clay, however, not all clay is suitable.
Our "timber clay" would not work.
They have to be baked at high temperatures for a long while to harden properly.

Drop one in a bucket of water, if it absorbes water quickly it hasn't been baked long enough. And I'm afraid you'll find a lot of those around, particularly those from south of the border.

Bricks are normally made of clay. They vary due to dyes and production processes for example the temperature that they are baked at or the amount of air etc

Clay placed in mould turned out left to dry then fired in a kiln left to cool,bricks.
