Verified by manufacturer 18 days ago

Concrete facing brick with rich red colour, frost-resistance and a lower carbon footprint vs typical clay alternative.

Jump to:

Application

Suitable for use below damp proof course (DPC) in foundations, boundary walls and externally above ground level up to sulphate resistance class DS2, regardless of the severity of exposure.

Description

Concrete facing brick featuring rich red colouring accented by hints of black. Featuring a sand faced finish and three-hole perforation this brick is similar to wire cut clay alternatives, but offers the extra benefits of increased frost resistance and a lower carbon footprint.

Features and benefits:

49% total carbon lifetime saving per tonne vs typical clay facing brick equivalent
24% total carbon lifetime saving per tonne vs typical non-mainland UK manufactured concrete facing brick equivalent
Naturally absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere during use
Manufactured and tested in accordance with BS EN 771-3: 2011+A1 2015: Specification for Masonry Units: Aggregate Concrete Masonry Units.
Colour fast pigments for colour longevity
Consistent in size for ease of laying
100% recyclable
Fire resistant with an A+ rating
Durable, frost resistant and low in soluble salt to the equivalent class F2/S2 rating for clay bricks
