Class B Engineering Brick Smooth Red Solid 65mm

Engineering bricks are typically used underground for foundations, as damp-proof courses or in wet environments. If you're after an aesthetic brick please check out our range of facing bricks. 

What Is Class B Engineering Brick Smooth Red Solid 65mm? 

Class B Red Engineering Bricks 65mm are versatile and durable building materials specifically designed to provide high compressive strength, low water absorption properties, and excellent resistance to adverse weather conditions. 

They are an essential component for various applications, including the construction of retaining walls, damp-proof courses, and load-bearing structures. 

With their solid and reliable characteristics, red solid engineering bricks offer numerous benefits and ensure long-lasting and visually appealing results.

Class B Red Engineering Brick 65mm Key Features

High Compressive Strength: Class B Engineering Brick Smooth Red Solid 65mm exhibits exceptional compressive strength, making it ideal for projects that require robust structural integrity.

Low Water Absorption: These bricks have low water absorption properties, minimising the risk of water-related damage and enhancing their durability.

Excellent Weather Resistance: Red Solid 65mm engineering bricks are highly resistant to adverse weather conditions, including frost, rain, and temperature variations, ensuring their longevity in different climates.

Solid and Durable: Class B Engineering Brick Smooth Red Solid 65mm is known for its solid construction and durability, guaranteeing long-term performance and stability.

Versatile Applications: These bricks can be used in various construction applications, such as retaining walls, load-bearing structures, damp-proof courses, and more.

Applications

Retaining Walls

Class B Engineering Brick Smooth Red Solid 65mm is an excellent choice for constructing retaining walls. Their high compressive strength and low water absorption properties ensure the stability and longevity of these walls, even in challenging soil conditions.

Load-Bearing Structures
Red class B solid engineering bricks are widely used in load-bearing structures, including walls and foundations. Their exceptional strength and durability make them suitable for supporting heavy loads and maintaining the structural integrity of buildings.

Damp-Proof Courses
Damp-proof courses are essential to prevent moisture from rising through walls and causing dampness. Class B Engineering Brick Smooth Red Solid 65mm, with its low water absorption and low water porosity properties, is an ideal material for creating effective damp-proof courses, ensuring the protection and longevity of buildings.

Class B Engineering Bricks Meaning

Contrary to popular belief that Class A engineering bricks are always blue and Class B are invariably red, the contemporary market presents a different reality. 

You can now find red Class A engineering bricks and Class B blue engineering bricks, broadening the available colour choices.

Unlike facing bricks, the selection of engineering bricks is driven by their physical characteristics, not their appearance. Where aesthetic performance is a major consideration, consider using one of our many facing brick options. 

A Class B brick stands out with its impressive compressive strength exceeding 75N/mm² and its water absorption staying below 7%. 

Given its competitive pricing, it tends to be the preferred choice in the UK. It's important to note that all engineering bricks are manufactured adhering to stringent British standards.
