About Our Engineering Bricks

We stock engineering bricks and provide Class B options for demanding construction applications. 

Engineering bricks deliver superior compressive strength and low water absorption, making them essential for below ground work, retaining walls, and load bearing structures exposed to harsh conditions. Professionals specify these units where standard bricks simply won't meet performance requirements. 

Our selection covers both blue engineering bricks and red engineering bricks in multiple thicknesses to suit varied project needs. 

Our Selection of Blue and Red Engineering Bricks

Blue engineering bricks remain the popular brick for civil engineering projects, manholes, and any application requiring exceptional durability in wet or frost-prone environments. The distinctive colour comes from the high temperature firing process that creates their dense structure and minimal porosity. 

Red engineering bricks offer similar technical performance with a different aesthetic, useful when you need engineering grade strength in visible locations or where colour coordination matters for the overall build.

Our range includes Class B engineering bricks across both colour options, providing compressive strength ratings suitable for most structural and civil applications. We stock variations in 65mm and 73mm thicknesses to match cavity wall specifications and project requirements. These units work particularly well in foundations, damp proof courses, inspection chambers, and boundary walls where freeze thaw resistance is imperative. 

For other options, explore our complete bricks category, which includes facing and common options alongside these engineering grades.
