A New Revolutionary Brick Promises to Change the Construction Industry by Eliminating the Need for Cement in Masonry. With an Efficient Connection System, This Innovation Can Reduce Costs, Accelerate Work, and Make the Sector More Sustainable.

The construction industry is constantly seeking solutions to reduce its environmental impact. Within this context, Facadeclick emerged, an innovative Belgian masonry brick that eliminates the need for cement and reduces material waste.

Simple and Efficient Assembly of the Brick

The Facadeclick allows for the construction of walls without glue or cement, using high-density polyethylene plastic connectors.

The bricks feature two central holes, through which they are fixed on top of each other with plastic clips.

Environmental and Economic Benefits

The innovation brings sustainable advantages. The Facadeclick significantly reduces construction waste, as the bricks can be reused and recycled.

Additionally, by avoiding the use of cement, the need for a highly polluting material is minimized due to CO2 emissions in the manufacturing process.

In financial terms, the system also represents savings. Since the installation of the bricks is straightforward, labor time and associated costs are reduced.

Even without requiring technical specialization, the presence of an experienced professional is recommended for supervising the assembly.

Expansion and Acceptance in the Market

The technique has attracted interest in the construction sector. In 2020, ten buildings, seven in Belgium and three in the Netherlands, were constructed using this system, totaling approximately 10,000 m² of façades.

The acceptance of Facadeclick led other contractors to adopt the solution in future projects, including schools and apartments.

The founder of the company revealed that a construction company plans to build five single-family homes with this technology.

Among the factors attracting the interest of professionals are the reuse of the bricks, the low cost of materials, and the speed of construction.

To expand the product offering and better meet architects and clients, the company has established partnerships with brick manufacturers. This collaboration allows for a wider variety of materials to meet different construction needs.

The Facadeclick represents a modern approach to masonry, combining efficiency, sustainability, and economy.

With the growing demand for low-impact environmental construction, this system could gain even more space in the sector.

Pode sair mais barato na hora da construção mas com o tempo ele se deteriora e se desmancha todo, experiência própria onde a empresa não deu garantia

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

The Himalayas continue to grow to this day, with tectonic plates advancing 5 cm per year, mountains rising up to 10 mm annually, and the 2015 earthquake that killed 9,000 people may have increased the risk of an even larger seismic mega-event.

Created by George Lucas with over $1 billion, a futuristic museum in the shape of a spaceship with 1,500 curved panels is about to open in Los Angeles and will house one of the largest private collections of narrative art in the world.

Global summit with over 40 countries pressures Iran for a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and warns of direct impact on oil, food, and the global economy.

A woman went out for a regular walk and ended up finding a treasure buried for over 900 years, with more than 2,000 medieval silver coins compared by archaeologists to a lottery prize and considered one of the most significant finds in recent years in the country.

The Federal Revenue issues a good alert for Brazilian taxpayers: 60.9% are already using the pre-filled tax return, automatic refunds via Pix reach millions, and the government plans for a fully automated income tax in the coming years.
