520			_aThis study aimed to develop insulating bricks using Sulquiano red clay and carbonized rice straw, with varying amounts of F1 (100:0), F2 (90:5), F3 (80:20), and F4 (65:35). Given the availability of these materials, the goal was to discover their potential for developing insulating bricks. Sulquiano red clay was screened through a #100 mesh and carbonized rice straw through a #60 mesh. Test bars (1x1x6 inches) were formed using the slabbing method, air-dried for 2 days, oven-dried at 110°C for 8 hours, and then fired at 1050°C. The study evaluated the physical properties and thermal properties of the test bars. Results showed average linear shrinkage from 9.94% to 14.14%, water absorption from 20.78% to 44.02%, with increasing apparent porosity between 35.93% and 53.01%, and decreasing the bulk density from 1.20 g/cm³ to 2.23 g/cm³. Thermal conductivity ranged from 0.466 W/m·K to 0.958 W/m·K. Based on these physical and thermal properties, formulations F3 (80:20) and F4 (65:35) performed most promising formulation for developing thermal insulating bricks.
