Before using ,Purchase 20 nos and get it tested at a reputed lab (Wet &dry stage)at your own cost without the knowledge of the seller /factory owner. Do not test the bricks at near by lab.

yes, interlock bricks can be used for house construction. Consider the following points: Advantages Does not require plastering No need for cement mortar No need for curing High strength Speedy construction. Disadvantages The gap between the bricks, since it is not plastered, is prone to insect attack. skilled labour is required to reduce wastage. At corners, there is a chance of sliding of interlock bricks so measures should be taken to cater to this. Better to provide a concrete frame around the window. Without column, suitable for G+1 buildings. Interlock bricks at the exterior walls are prone to weathering, so there are changes of colour fading. Exterior walls need to be plastered.
