Consumers already know well that it is only necessary to purchase building materials from manufacturers who have proven their worth. Among such enterprises is the plant in Novokubani OJSC NZKSM, which produces ceramic wall materials . Among them, building brick is a priority product.
About the manufacturer
The factory opened in 1987 and from the first day began to produce high-quality products. The secret of this was to use the latest equipment. Over the past time, both the equipment itself and manufacturing technologies have changed significantly: the process is automated, and the work is optimized. This approach had an impact not only on the capacity of the enterprise, but also on the quality of its products, which, in demand, far ahead of analogues from other manufacturers.
The best proof of the high quality that distinguishes Novokuban brick is the reviews of those who have already purchased this type of material. They indicate that the use of the material gives a rich, presentable appearance to any structure, and for several years the appearance of the brickwork has not undergone any external changes, despite the high humidity and adverse weather conditions.
Manufacturing Features
The technology used to produce bricks was borrowed from Unimorando from Italy. The process itself consists in the fact that pure, without additives, clay goes through the formation process on an automatic line. After that, the resulting semi-finished product is dried and fired in a tunnel oven. Moreover, each furnace has 19 firing zones, the temperature in which reaches 1000-1100 ยฐ C.
The company's specialists carefully consider the choice of raw materials: clay is taken from proven quarries and undergoes preliminary cleaning and processing. This ensures an environmentally friendly and safe product. The whole process is completely continuous, which ensures the improvement of the physical and technical characteristics of the finished products.

Specifications
High-quality facing brick must meet the following requirements:
- Strength - from 25 MPa.
- Frost resistance - over 50 cycles.
- Moisture absorption is low (less than 6%).
- The density indicator is 1600 kg / mยณ.
- The color scheme is saturated red.
The thermal conductivity of the material is about 0.6 watts / ms. This is a fairly low indicator, since the Novokuban brick has a void inside. Thanks to this, in winter the heat does not leave the house, and in summer the heat does not penetrate inside.
The aesthetics of Novokuban products deserve special attention: the practicality and neat appearance of the facing material ensure the sophistication of the appearance of each building, regardless of style. Builders, using combinations of different types of masonry, can create real masterpieces from this material.
According to the listed indicators, it is determined how stable the Novokuban brick is to climatic conditions, since the duration of operation, maintaining the reliability of the structure and the attractiveness of its appearance depend on this.
Cost calculation
Each developer who has heard about the quality of the products of the Novokubansk plant is surely interested in the most important question: how much does the brick cost? The price of products depends on several parameters:
- A type of brick that can be single or thickened.
- The complexity of the form.
- Stamps.
For example, a single smooth brick for cladding measuring 25 x 12 x 6.5 cm will cost 9.5, and one and a half - 13.5 rubles apiece. For red porous hollow ordinary stone of brand 175, you will need to pay 33.76 rubles per product.
The place of acquisition of building materials also affects the cost - everyone knows how much brick costs from the manufacturer: the price of products is always slightly lower than in the construction market.
