What Is Clay?<\/h2>\n

Clay is not only one of the most popular building materials in history, but also one of the oldest. It has been used in the form of dried clay bricks for more than 10,000 years; its use as pottery and tableware is even older. Clay is extracted from soil containing clay particles. Its components are, in turn, mostly fine-grained minerals.<\/p>\n

In its original state, it can be molded with great ease due to the high content of water, and can therefore be shaped into any imaginable form. After molding, it is dried or fired and thus achieves high strength and brittleness. Due to these properties, there is a high risk of breakage, which is one of the few disadvantages of clay. On the other hand, however, the material achieves a high load-bearing capacity, especially through the firing process.<\/p>\n
