Product Overview
Smooth blue Class B engineering brick with high strength and low water absorption.
Provides durable support for loadbearing walls above-or-below ground, with perforations making the unit lighter to handle and improving mortar bond in site work.
The blue tone results from low-oxygen kiln firing, giving a consistent, uniform finish suited to visible or concealed use.
Features & Benefits
- Class B rating (to BS EN 771-1): Assures ≥75 N/mm² compressive strength and ≤7% water absorption for dependable structural performance.
- High compressive strength: Carries significant loads in walls, piers, and foundations without crushing.
- Low water absorption: Resists moisture ingress and freeze-thaw damage for long service in wet or exposed locations.
- Dense, vitrified clay body: Durability in aggressive conditions; good resistance to chemicals and sulfates (check site soils against specification).
- Smooth finish: Neat, uniform appearance where visible; easy to clean down.
- Blue colour from low-oxygen firing: Distinctive hue produced by restricted oxygen conditions in the kiln; minor shade variation is normal.
- Perforated form: Reduced unit weight aids handling; vertical holes improve mortar key without compromising Class B strength.
- 65mm course height: Integrates with UK coursing for DPCs, retaining walls, and general brickwork.
Please Note:
- Perforation number and pattern may vary between batches; this does not affect structural performance and is within manufacturing tolerances. Colour shade can vary slightly due to raw materials and firing; this is normal for fired clay products.
- Engineering bricks are specified for performance; if appearance is the priority, consider facing bricks.
- Always follow project specifications for mortar selection, DPCs, movement joints, and drainage, especially in sulfate-bearing soils.
Applications
- Foundations & substructures: Robust below-DPC masonry where strength and moisture resistance are required.
- Damp-proof courses: Commonly used in two-course DPCs to interrupt rising damp due to low water absorption.
- Retaining walls, plinths & cappings: Durable in contact with soil or severe weathering exposures.
- Manholes, inspection chambers & civil works: Suitable for drainage structures and utility builds exposed to wet and aggressive conditions.
Installation Guidance
- Lay to good practice: Full mortar beds with solidly filled perpends; keep perforations vertical to optimise bond and performance.
- Detail for moisture control: Incorporate DPCs, weep holes, and drainage as specified; select mortar appropriate to site conditions and any sulfate risk.
- Protect fresh work: Shield from rain, frost, and rapid drying; allow adequate curing before backfilling or loading.
Compliance & Performance
- BS EN 771-1, Class B (≥75 N/mm², ≤7%): Meets requirements for loadbearing masonry in wet/exposed environments.
- Intended service conditions: Suitable for use above or below DPC when designed and detailed to recognised masonry best practice.
