Hai
I just heard regarding this IBS by zuka properties
Anyone have any idea or experience using this kind of brick/or about this zuka properties?

IBS is not something new. More and more developer take this approach as it's low in cost for them.

As for us, we might have a risk of got a slant home.

You may as well Google this around.

I use it for my house so no need steel. check my reno thread

paskal

you mean this one issit?

From the picture, i personally don't agree that it is IBS. From the picture, it looks more like AAC bricks are light weight bricks. Just from my personal experience.

he self proclaim is IBS, let it be. Didn't know ibs brick so advance already, no need hole in the bricks and steel in the wall.

Nope

This one

This is not my house. Just take from internet to show you that many others built 2nd storey with small dimension support

This is light weight brick. For me its useless although light.I just used it as partition for my extension room. Only after buy i know its very fragile.Too fragile until i wonder how this thing used in building.Lucky used for partition and i dont hang anything on it like photo frames etc cause i worry it will break.

I say this type of brick very popular in Philippines at low cost housing and rural areas. Maybe due to cheap cost.

But AAC is used to build condo 30 storeys liao.. it is better than your sand brick though. Cheap? Are you kidding? 1 pc : rm 3 liao compare with ur sand brick

you do know what is lightweight brick, right? you do know that they're LIGHT, right?
you know light is the exact opposite of heavy, right?

take a guess. your ordinary clay brick is a heavy brick or a lightweight brick?

but sure, build your structure according to whatever picture on the net and don't consider the load weight.
i'm sure it'll work out for you.

there's quite a number of solution on the market now.
IBS isn't interlocking bricks per se. there's also interlocking cement blocks. there's interlocking IBS brick (brick sized). there's interlocking IBS blocks. there's AAC block.

never seen AAC brick before. though i'm not surprised one bit if there's also aac bricks selling somewhere.

Ok.so 8mm support can use light brick aac. Will use that for my 2nd storey then.hahaha..so no one can complain to my reno

Sure its real ACC or some imitation version ?

Its just concrete with air pump into it to create honey comb pocket which give it the light weight but also give strength.

I just came across this MYIB

It also talking about interlocking bricks, is it the same thing as discussed in this thread?

very cool. im just curious about the strength of it. i saw some other videos that after the bricks are fully laid. the pump concrete into the holes. that would make me feel more comfortable hahaha. didnt see that in their vid.

makes me question. if you run and jump against the wall will it tip or bend or blocks pushed out?

very interesting though. if they really can build new homes at 10x the speed at 10% of the cost. damn respect.

In construction, IBS = Industrialised Building System.

Better double check whether the developer was really talking about bricks when he/she was talking about IBS.

The white bricks shown in photo above actually is Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC). It's just a light-weight brick; very light that it has lower density than water i.e it can float in water.

AAC has nothing to do with IBS.

AAC got small IBS points due to its uniform shape
