fired brick
Heat-cured building unit
Fired brick is brick that has been hardened by heating in a kiln, as opposed to sun-dried or air-dried brick.
The firing process makes the brick stronger, more durable, and resistant to moisture.
Fired bricks have been a fundamental building material for thousands of years: The ancient walls were constructed of fired brick laid in intricate patterns.
