Porotherm is lauded for being 60 per cent lighter than conventional walling materials, resulting in lower structural cost due to the reduction in the dead load. Given its perforation, the thermal insulation properties are almost 100 per cent more than conventional walling materials. Fired at 1000 degrees in the kilns, the bricks also enjoy a fire rating of F240 for 240 minutes. Check out the infograph below for a detailed insight:
