Why Does Korndoerfer Homes Choose to Build with Champion Brick?

Brick made from clay and shale – some of the most abundant, natural materials on earth – are fired through a kiln at up to 2000 degrees. The reason the brick turns into such a durable material is that the clay/shale unit actually goes through a vitrification process in the kiln, which enables the clay particles to fuse together. Because of this, clay bricks do not fade. Research confirms that genuine clay brick provides superior shelter in three major categories: fire protection, wind protection, and moisture control. Brick offers lasting value. It doesn’t rot, dent, or need to be painted. It is one of the few materials that can actually look better with age. Brick is a building material that has exceptional “thermal mass” properties. Thermal mass is the ability of a heavy, dense material to store heat and then slowly release it. This means that during the summer months your brick home stays cool during the hottest part of the day. During the winter, brick walls store your home’s heat and radiate it back to you. All clay brick sold and supplied by Champion Brick meet industry standards for use in our climate.
