Class B Red Solid Engineering Bricks 65mm

The Class B Red Solid Engineering Brick (65mm) is a high-strength brick designed for structural applications where durability, load-bearing capacity, and water resistance are essential. With its solid construction and smooth red finish, it is widely used in both civil engineering and residential projects across the UK.

Specifications

• Type: Class B engineering brick
• Material: High-density fired clay
• Dimensions: 215mm (L) x 102.5mm (W) x 65mm (H)
• Colour: Smooth red
• Strength: Minimum compressive strength of 75N/mm²
• Water Absorption: ≤ 7% for durability and resistance
• Standard: Manufactured to BS EN 771-1 standards

Benefits

• Exceptional Strength: Suitable for heavy load-bearing and structural work.
• Water Resistant: Low water absorption makes them ideal for below-ground use.
• Durability: Long-lasting and resistant to weathering and frost.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for walls, foundations, and civil engineering projects.
• Smooth Finish: Red colour provides a neat and uniform appearance.

Common Applications

• Retaining walls and foundations
• Groundworks and below-DPC (damp proof course) use
• Civil engineering projects (e.g., bridges, tunnels)
• General structural applications requiring high strength

What is the difference between Class A and Class B engineering bricks?
Class A bricks have a compressive strength of 125N/mm² and ≤ 4.5% water absorption, making them more resistant. Class B bricks (75N/mm², ≤ 7% water absorption) are still strong and durable but more commonly used in general construction where Class A strength is not required.
