Engineering bricks are high-strength, low water absorption bricks designed for demanding structural applications. Our Concrete Engineering Bricks are Class B engineering bricks, offering excellent durability and resistance to moisture, frost and salts.

Concrete Engineering Bricks are traditionally used for retaining walls, foundations, manholes, below damp proof course and civil engineering projects. Increasingly, they are also being chosen for visible external features such as splash courses, where their lower water absorption helps reduce staining and improve longevity.

Our concrete engineering bricks provide the same high strength and low water absorption expected from traditional clay engineering bricks, while offering a smoother, more consistent finish. This makes them ideal for projects where both performance and appearance matter.

Yes. Concrete Engineering Bricks are particularly well suited to splash courses above damp proof course level, as their low water absorption helps minimise moisture ingress, efflorescence and long-term weathering.

Our engineering bricks are available in a higher 75N strength for more demanding structural uses.

Class A engineering bricks have the highest strength and lowest water absorption, making them suitable for the most demanding structural and below-ground applications. Class B engineering bricks are a more cost-effective alternative where extreme performance is not required, while still providing excellent strength, low water absorption and durability for retaining walls, splash courses and general construction.
