Class B Red Solid Engineering Bricks – High-Strength Brick for Foundations & Structural Applications
Delivering superior performance under pressure, these Class B Red Solid Engineering Bricks are the trusted choice for heavy-duty construction projects. Built for exceptional strength and low water absorption, they provide a robust and durable solution for foundations, retaining walls, manholes, and other below-ground applications.
With a water absorption rate of less than 7%, these engineering bricks are perfectly suited to damp environments or areas where water ingress is a concern. Their precise manufacturing and square-edged profile ensure easy handling, accurate placement, and long-lasting performance under demanding site conditions.
Features & Benefits:
- High Strength Construction – Designed to withstand heavy structural loads.
- Low Water Absorption – Class B rating with <7% absorption protects against moisture-related damage.
- Durable & Resilient – Rated F2 for high frost resistance and long-term outdoor use.
- Precision Engineered – Tight dimensional tolerances (T2, R1) for consistent, accurate installation.
- Versatile Usage – Suitable for DPC level or below, foundations, drainage, and load-bearing work.
- Solid Build – Dense composition ensures durability and thermal mass.
