Brick-Coba

services-big

Brick-Coba, often referred to as "Brickbat Coba," is a traditional method of waterproofing and insulating flat roofs commonly used in India and other parts of South Asia. It involves laying a layer of bricks on a sloping concrete or mortar bed, which is typically prepared on the top surface of a roof. Brickbat Coba is known for its effectiveness in waterproofing and providing insulation to buildings. Here's some information about Brickbat Coba:

Steps for Brick-Coba:

  • Surface Preparation: Ensure the roof surface is clean, free of dust, debris, and any loose materials. Sweep or brush the surface to remove any dirt or contaminants.
  • Slope Calculation: Calculate the desired slope for the roof. A proper slope is crucial for effective drainage of rainwater towards the roof's drainage outlets.
  • Bed Preparation: Prepare the mortar bed on top of the roof surface. The mortar bed should have the calculated slope. Use a trowel or float to spread and level the mortar mix evenly.
  • Brick Cutting: Cut the bricks into small pieces, typically square or rectangular, with a uniform thickness. The size of the pieces can vary but is generally between 2.5 to 5 cm thick.
  • Brick Soaking: Soak the brick pieces in water before placing them on the mortar bed. Soaking helps prevent the bricks from absorbing too much water from the mortar, ensuring proper adhesion.
  • Laying of Bricks: Begin placing the soaked brick pieces on the sloping mortar bed. Set them close to each other, leaving small gaps in between. These gaps will later be filled with the waterproofing compound.
  • Waterproofing Compound Application: After placing the bricks, prepare the waterproofing compound, which is usually a mixture of cement, waterproofing chemicals, and additives.

Remember that proper installation is crucial for the success of Brickbat Coba. It's advisable to hire skilled labor or professionals experienced in this technique to ensure the quality and durability of the waterproofing and insulation layer.

Advantages of Brickbat Coba:

Waterproofing: Brickbat Coba is effective in preventing water leakage from the roof. The waterproofing compound fills the gaps between the brick pieces, creating a watertight layer.

Thermal Insulation: The air gaps created between the brick pieces act as insulating pockets, helping to reduce heat transfer and maintain a cooler indoor temperature during hot weather.

Cost-Effective Brickbat Coba is considered a cost-effective method of waterproofing and insulating flat roofs compared to modern membrane systems..
