Blue & Red Engineering Brick FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Bricks are produced using a combination of clay, water, sand, calcium silicate, and shale, and are ideal for projects involving walls and curves based on an unusual framework. Compared to regular bricks which shouldn’t be used below ground level, engineering bricks are a lot stronger and have low water absorption, frost, and moisture, making them a popular choice for buildings that stand in wet and colder environments. Class B red engineering bricks are produced on a larger scale and commonly used on construction sites. Their high compressive strength shows rates of over 75N/mm2 (mm²), with water absorption ratings usually below 7%.

Class B Engineering Bricks are known for their strength, low water absorption, and durability, making them suitable for various construction applications. They can be used in paving, landscaping, drainage systems, boundary walls, joinery, and much more.

There are two types of engineering brick: Class A and Class B. The higher Class A offers superior water resistance and compressive strength and is typically blue in colour. Blue engineering bricks provide less than 4.5% water absorption and up to 125/Nmm2 (mm²) of power. Class A engineering bricks are often used in applications requiring high performance, such as load-bearing walls, paving, damp-proof courses, retaining walls, and building foundations. Class B red engineering bricks are manufactured in large quantities and are frequently utilised in construction projects. They typically have a compression strength exceeding 75N/mm² and a water absorption rate that generally remains under 7%. Both types are highly resistant to water damage and frost.

Facing bricks, also known as face bricks, are a type of brick specifically designed for the external walls of a building, providing both an aesthetic finish and structural durability. We provide a large range of facing bricks at Armstrong Cheshire.
