Engineering Brick
Why choose an engineering brick for your next project?
Engineering bricks are favoured for their physical strength and versatility.
Widely stocked and readily available here at WBS Ltd in a multitude of colours, in both perforated and solid.
An engineering brick offers a lower water absorption rate than a generic facing brick – ideal for above and below ground applications where water absorption performance is key.
Class B Engineering bricks offer a high compression strength making these ideal for foundations, retaining walls, garden walls and below ground drainage applications.
Suitable for damp proof courses when laid in conjunction with a damp proof membrane.
Using an engineering brick generally offers a saving when compared to the cost of a facing brick, for those projects where the aesthetics isn’t necessarily the key attribute.
All our engineering bricks are supplied and manufactured by industry leading brands so you can ensure the very best finish on your next project.
Our engineering bricks are available for swift and free local delivery, ex yard.
