What is Leigo?
[ This will all make sense and fit into the context of the website when the final site is deployed in June 2007. ]


Ecological brick
is called, because in its production, if it does not use the wooden burning,
that provokes the deforestation, beyond not polluted air with the burning, where
the residues generally are launched in the atmosphere.
In it, they are basically clay, water, sand and cement ( 8% ).
Using as raw material the soil, cement and water, the brick is produced through
pressing, not having, therefore, necessity of burning and presenting other
advantages that become it sufficiently competitive in relation the conventional
cooked bricks.
The mixture soil, cement and water, and duly compact, constitutes what it is
called of soil-cement or ecological bricks.
The soil - cement brick allows that the same ones are uncased as a pedagogical
toy, reducing the construction time.
Moreover, as it is an apparent construction, it does not need covering on the
walls. The bricks only are uncased, or are used one filet of mortar or white
glue on the same ones, thus reducing, the nesting mortar consumption.
As the Modular Brick process a rabbet system, that helps in the nesting, and two
punctures in the centre, that they serve to inlay all to the sewer part,
hydraulically, electric and structural, the construction is raised with more
easiness and organization, and practically without wastefulnesses, therefore it
is a clean and dynamic workmanship.
As the modular brick process two punctures, the walls form an acoustic
isolation, diminishing the noises provoked in the street for the interior of the
house With the Cold happen to oppose it, therefore the temperature of the house
is hotter of the one than the external one.
These punctures also propitiate the evaporation of air, preventing with this,
the formation of moistness in the walls and interior of the construction, that
cause material damages to the health and damages.
For not suffering burning in its productive process, to we oppose it of the
conventional bricks, does not attack to the environment, either, in the
deforestation of trees or in the launching of residues in atmosphere. Modular
brick serves for all the social standard contructions and building process.
