Imperial Engineering Bricks

Imperial Engineering Bricks combine traditional sizing with modern performance, making them ideal for heritage projects, restorations, and period-style new builds. Manufactured to imperial dimensions (typically 73mm or 76mm), these bricks offer a perfect match for older properties built before metric standards.

Available in both Class A and Class B ratings, they deliver high compressive strength, low water absorption, and excellent frost resistance—making them suitable for structural and below-ground applications. Whether used for damp-proof courses, retaining walls, or visible detailing, imperial engineering bricks provide the durability of modern construction with the authenticity needed for traditional builds.

Metric Engineering Bricks

Metric Engineering Bricks are a robust and reliable choice for modern construction projects requiring strength, durability, and water resistance. Manufactured to standard metric dimensions (typically 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm), they are ideal for structural and below-ground applications such as foundations, retaining walls, manholes, and damp-proof courses.

Available in Class A and Class B ratings, these bricks offer excellent compressive strength and low water absorption, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding environments. With a clean, smooth finish—commonly in blue or red tones—metric engineering bricks also suit exposed work where durability and a neat appearance are essential.

Staffordshire Blue Engineering Bricks

Staffordshire Blue Engineering Bricks are renowned for their strength, durability, and distinctive dark blue colour. Traditionally fired at high temperatures, these Class A engineering bricks offer exceptional resistance to water absorption and frost, making them ideal for below-ground works, retaining walls, damp-proof courses, and other structural applications.

Their dense composition ensures long-lasting performance in demanding environments. With a smooth finish and striking colour, Staffordshire Blue bricks are also a popular choice for decorative features in both heritage and contemporary designs. Trusted for generations, they combine technical reliability with timeless visual appeal for any robust construction project.

Metric & Imperial Engineering Bricks FAQs

New Engineering Bricks

What are engineering bricks used for?

Engineering bricks are used in structural applications that require high strength, low water absorption, and durability. They’re commonly used in foundations, retaining walls, damp-proof courses, and below-ground works.

What makes engineering bricks different from standard bricks?

Unlike standard facing bricks, engineering bricks are designed for performance. They’re denser, stronger, and less porous, often rated as Class A or B depending on their compressive strength and water resistance.

What is the difference between Class A and Class B engineering bricks?

Class A bricks have greater strength (typically over 125 N/mm²) and very low water absorption (less than 4.5%). Class B bricks are slightly less dense but still offer excellent strength and water resistance, suitable for most groundworks.

Can I use engineering bricks for visible walls or decorative features?

Yes, but it depends on the look you're going for. Engineering bricks often have a uniform, smooth surface and may be red, blue or grey in colour. While they're designed for performance, their clean lines can also suit modern designs.

Are engineering bricks frost- and water-resistant?

Yes. One of their key advantages is their low water absorption rate, which helps prevent frost damage and moisture ingress — especially critical in below-DPC or exposed applications.

Do engineering bricks require special tools or mortar?

No specialist tools are needed, but due to their density, cutting engineering bricks may require a diamond blade or angle grinder. Standard mortar can be used, though strong, well-mixed mortar is recommended to complement their structural role.
