Hollow bricks are used as air is a good insulator.

Thick walls are used to reduce heat loss to the surroundings as the brick is also a poor conductor of heat. (although not as much effective as air)

How many brick required for 230mm thick wall?

To calculate the number of bricks required for a 230mm thick wall, you first need to determine the volume of the wall and the size of the bricks. A standard brick size is typically 190mm x 90mm x 90mm. Given the thickness of the wall is 230mm, you can fit approximately 1.28 bricks in that thickness. However, for an accurate calculation, consider the wall's dimensions (length and height) to find the total number of bricks needed.
