Abstract

Perlite has recently emerged as a material used especially in the construction industry. The light brick is obtained by using light materials such as cement, sand, water, and perlite in brick production. Especially recently, studies have been carried out to make the bricks lighter using mines such as perlite. The reason for doing all of these studies is not to add resistance to the brick, but to increase the insulation of the bricks. It is of great importance that the bricks used in the construction industry are both lightweight and good insulation material. In our study, the perlite-filled insulation bricks were examined and the effect of these bricks on insulation was examined and interpreted.
