The iron content is more than that in the ordinary clay bricks. Excessive iron causes vitrification
of bricks while burning at a low temperature, gives natural glaze to the brick, making it more
resistant to abrasion. Paving bricks can be manufactured from surface clays, impure fire-clays
or shale. However, shales are the best raw material for paving bricks. These are generally
burned in continuous kiln for seven to ten days.
