tiilit

Tiilit is a Finnish word that translates to "bricks" in English. It most commonly refers to fired clay building units used in construction. These bricks are typically rectangular and have been used for centuries due to their durability and fire-resistant properties. The manufacturing process involves shaping clay, drying it, and then firing it in a kiln at high temperatures. This process hardens the clay and makes it suitable for structural purposes. In Finnish culture, bricks have played a significant role in building everything from traditional houses and saunas to more modern architectural structures. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe something solid or foundational. Beyond construction, the word "tiilit" might appear in various contexts, but its primary association remains with the material used for building.
