  • The input of soil stabilization allowed building walls, which have much better compressive strength and water resistance.
  • Cement is able to disperse itself to fill the pore spaces where it sets and hardens to form a continuous matrix, which surrounds the particles of soil, and bind them together.
  • And the manufactured brick cured for four weeks.

  • Plastered walls
  • Apply weather shield paint

  • Preferred option-Exposed brick
  • Apply paint only  
  • Plastered walls and painted walls
  • Apply the filler and painted walls
