10 Hole Bricks — Lighter Than 8 Hole, Built for Height
10 hole clay bricks cut brick weight down further than our 8 hole range, without losing the strength a partition wall needs. Strong thermal and sound insulation, easy on masons to lay, and priced to work for large orders. Starting at ₹7/piece.
10 Hole Bricks — Sizes & Pricing
Ten vertical perforations, fired in the same kiln as our other wire-cut bricks, for a lighter unit without losing wall strength.
Standard 10 Hole Wire Cut Bricks
Our 10 hole brick takes the wire-cut process we use for the 8 hole range and adds two more perforations. Less clay per brick means less weight to carry up a staircase or hoist to the upper floors, and the extra air pockets add a bit more insulation too.
- Size: 230×114×76mm (IS 1077 standard)
- Holes: 10 cylindrical perforations, 20–24mm diameter
- Weight: ~25% lighter than solid bricks
- Compressive Strength: ≥70 kg/cm² (suitable for partition walls up to G+2)
- Water Absorption: Under 20%
- Best For: Partition walls, internal non-load-bearing walls, multi-storey apartment and office construction
10 Hole Bricks — Bulk Project Supply
We keep large stock of 10 hole bricks ready for bigger orders — apartment projects, office towers, hostel and hospital partition work. Same brick, same quality, delivered in phases if your site needs it that way.
What Are 10 Hole Bricks?
10 hole bricks are clay bricks with ten vertical holes running through them, made on the same wire-cut machines we use for our 8 hole bricks. The two extra holes take out more clay, so the brick weighs less without changing the raw material or the firing process. At Bricks Street we make them in the same kiln batch as the rest of our perforated range, so quality stays consistent from the first piece to the last.
Less weight per brick adds up fast on a real site. On a fifteen-storey building, thousands of bricks go into the partition walls alone — shaving weight off each one means less load on the beams and columns below, and less strain on workers carrying bricks up floor after floor. The extra holes also trap more air inside the wall, which helps keep rooms a little cooler and a little quieter.
When does a 10 hole brick make more sense than an 8 hole brick?
Pick 10 hole bricks when weight is the deciding factor — very tall buildings, upper floors where material has to go up by hoist, or large partition-wall orders where every rupee saved on transport and handling adds up. If the wall needs to carry any real load, step up to our 3-hole or solid bricks instead.
One thing to keep in mind: 10 hole bricks are not built for load-bearing walls. Their compressive strength (≥70 kg/cm²) is lower than our 3-hole or solid bricks (≥105 kg/cm²) simply because there's less clay holding the brick together. Use them for partitions and internal walls, and use solid or 3-hole bricks wherever the wall is actually carrying weight.

Key Features of Our 10 Hole Bricks
25% Lighter Weight
Ten perforations take out more clay than our 8 hole brick, cutting weight by around 25% compared to a solid brick of the same size. On a high-rise job that adds up to a real reduction in dead load.
Strong Thermal Insulation
Ten separate air pockets slow down heat moving through the wall. Rooms built with 10 hole bricks stay noticeably cooler through the day, which takes pressure off the AC bill.
Good Sound Insulation
The extra holes break up sound waves better than fewer, bigger holes would. Works well for partition walls between flats, offices or hotel rooms where you don't want every conversation carrying through.
Consistent Size
Machine wire-cut to the same ±2mm tolerance as the rest of our range, so masons get a uniform joint thickness and don't waste time adjusting for odd-sized bricks.
Handles Indian Weather
Water absorption stays under 20%, so the brick doesn't swell or crack through the monsoon. Fired hard enough to take on extreme summer heat too.
Won't Catch Fire
Clay doesn't burn. Used as a partition wall, 10 hole bricks give you a fire break between rooms or units that plaster and drywall alone can't match.
Less Clay, Less Waste
Ten holes mean less raw clay dug and fired per brick — lower fuel use at the kiln and a smaller footprint for the same wall area.
Faster to Lay
Lighter bricks mean masons move faster, especially on upper floors where every trip up a ladder or hoist counts. Expect a real time saving over solid brick walls on big jobs.
Where 10 Hole Bricks Work Best
10 hole bricks do best in specific jobs — here's where they deliver the most value for your money.
High-Rise Buildings
Every gram saved on a single brick multiplies fast when a tower needs lakhs of bricks. 10 hole bricks are our lightest wire-cut option for keeping dead load down floor after floor.
Partition Walls
This is the brick's main job — internal walls that don't carry structural load. Lighter and better insulated than a solid brick wall of the same size, at a lower cost to transport.
Hotels & Guest Houses
Good sound insulation between rooms without adding excess weight to upper floors — useful for hotel and guest house partition walls.
Hospitals & Clinics
Fire-resistant clay and decent sound insulation suit internal partition walls in hospital wards and clinics where privacy and safety both matter.
Schools & Offices
Lower material cost per wall and solid thermal performance make 10 hole bricks a practical pick for internal walls in schools, colleges and office buildings.
Apartment Interiors
Builders use 10 hole bricks for internal walls in apartment projects to cut structural load without giving up sound privacy between flats.

Can 10 hole bricks be used for load-bearing walls?
10 hole bricks have limited load-bearing capacity (≥70 kg/cm²) — suitable for load-bearing walls in structures up to G+2 (ground + 2 floors). For taller load-bearing structures, use our solid or 3-hole wire cut bricks which achieve ≥105 kg/cm². 10 hole bricks are ideally used for:
- Non-load-bearing partition walls (any height)
- Internal walls in framed structures (any height)
- Load-bearing walls in single and double-storey buildings
What is the difference between 10 hole and 8 hole bricks?
- Weight: 10-hole is ~25% lighter vs ~20% for 8-hole
- Thermal insulation: 10-hole is slightly better (more air cavities)
- Acoustic: 10-hole STC 47–53 vs 8-hole STC 46–52 dB
- Strength: 8-hole is marginally stronger (≥75 vs ≥70 kg/cm²)
- Load-bearing: both suit load-bearing walls up to G+2 only
- Best use: both for partitions; pick 10-hole when weight matters most
How many 10 hole bricks are needed per square foot of wall?
For a standard 230×114×76mm brick with 10mm mortar joints:
- Half-brick (114mm thick) wall: ~8–9 bricks per sq.ft
- Full-brick (230mm thick) wall: ~17–18 bricks per sq.ft
