Engineering bricks are specified for their physical characteristics and not their appearance. They have high compressive strength and low water absorption and are classified only by these properties. Their use for facing work should be avoided, as they are not subject to the same level of inspection for surface irregularities or colour variation as a facing brick. Where aesthetic performance is a major consideration, facing bricks should be used.<\/p>\n
Engineering bricks are traditionally used in civil engineering and are most suitable for applications where strength and resistance to frost attack and water are important. Examples of situations where engineering bricks are used include groundworks, manholes, sewers, retaining walls and damp-proof courses.<\/p>\n
Class B engineering bricks have a compressive strength greater than 75N\/mm² and water absorption less than 7%. All our engineering bricks comply with the requirements shown in the National Annex to BS EN 771-1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
