The red bricks that farmers used to like to use to build houses are discontinued, what materials can be used to build houses in the future?

In the past two years, rural areas have been changing at a very fast pace. You can find several houses under construction in almost every village. Some of the old houses in the previous villages were replaced by small foreign houses. Speaking of building houses, we have to mention a common building material: red bricks. Why was it commonly used before? Because this kind of brick became popular from the 1970s and 1980s, and only became really popular in the 1990s, and now red bricks are almost invisible. Currently, urban construction sites have been replaced by more environmentally friendly cement bricks. Even in the countryside, red bricks are almost invisible.

At present, environmental protection is very demanding, and the raw material for red bricks is clay, which can be used to make pottery or burned into bricks. Overuse has damaged the ecology in many places. These clays mainly come from arable land, seriously damaging the arable land resources. Some brick factories have to be relocated every few years because all the nearby land can be excavated. If this cycle continues, there will be less and less arable land resources available.

Now that most houses are frame structures, the demand for red bricks is not as high as before. Gradually, a kind of hollow brick gradually replaced the red brick. Modern architecture focuses on earthquake resistance. The seismic performance of frame houses is significantly higher than that of red brick houses. Now many old red brick houses are also facing almost demolition. Moreover, in the process of burning red bricks, some polluting gases are produced. These gases contain a lot of toxic substances, which have a great impact on people and crop production near the brick factory.

So, since 2018, the state has officially issued a document announcing that there are more than 500 cities in the country and started to ban the use of red bricks. Now, red brick factories are only produced by some small brick factories in rural areas. With the increase in environmental control, the production cost of red bricks is also increasing. Now, the price of red bricks has not only gone up by a few cents, but in some places where red bricks are wanted, the price has to be fixed in advance. Some farmers are beginning to worry about this, especially those who have recently had the idea of building a house. Red bricks are not allowed in this country. How are we supposed to build a house? Actually, you can rest assured that you can also use green bricks and cement bricks. These bricks are made from slag, furnace slag and industrial waste. They are not only durable but also environmentally friendly. So, it doesn't matter if the red bricks are gone. The substitute bricks are of better quality!
