Red & Blue Engineering Bricks
High-strength engineering bricks, available in both blue and red, are designed for exceptional durability and performance in demanding construction projects. These perforated bricks are renowned for their low water absorption, making them highly resistant to frost and moisture damage. Their strength and resilience make them ideal for use in structural applications, such as retaining walls, foundations, and basements, where long-lasting durability is essential.
Blue and red engineering bricks offer versatility in both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The red bricks are often used in projects where visual appearance matters alongside structural integrity, while blue engineering bricks are typically selected for their higher strength and durability in heavy-duty applications. Both color options provide excellent resistance to chemicals, ensuring their longevity even in harsh environments.
Whether you're working on a commercial or residential project, these high-strength engineering bricks are a reliable choice. Their robust construction and low maintenance needs make them perfect for high-stress applications, ensuring that your building or structure remains strong and protected for years to come. Available in Metric 65mm x 215mm x 102mm and Imperial 75mm x 228mm x 108mm (3" x 9" x 4 1/4").

Engineering Bricks FAQs
What are Engineering Bricks?
Engineering bricks are high-strength, durable bricks specifically designed for load-bearing and structural applications. They are known for their low water absorption and resistance to weathering, making them ideal for civil engineering projects.
What colours are Engineering Bricks available in?
Heritage Brick Company offers Engineering Bricks in both blue and red colours. These bricks are designed not only for performance but also to complement the aesthetics of various building projects.
What are the key benefits of using Engineering Bricks?
Engineering Bricks provide superior strength, low water absorption, and resistance to frost and chemicals. These features make them ideal for foundations, retaining walls, and other heavy-duty construction projects.
What is the difference between Class A and Class B Engineering Bricks?
Class A Engineering Bricks are the highest quality, offering greater compressive strength and lower water absorption than Class B. Class B bricks are still highly durable but are typically used where the highest strength is not required.
Where are Engineering Bricks commonly used?
Engineering Bricks are commonly used in projects requiring high compressive strength and low water absorption, such as in damp-proof courses, retaining walls, tunnels, and bridges. They are also frequently used for foundations and other structural applications.
Can Engineering Bricks be used for decorative purposes?
Yes, while Engineering Bricks are primarily used for their functional strength, they can also be used decoratively, especially the red variety, which is often employed in garden walls and other outdoor features.
What makes Engineering Bricks different from regular facing bricks?
Engineering Bricks are significantly stronger and have much lower water absorption compared to facing bricks. They are designed for structural integrity rather than aesthetic appearance, though they can still enhance the look of a project.
