Ibstock Chesterton Class B Red 65mm Engineering Brick Pack of 500

The Ibstock Red Engineering Class B Brick is a high-strength, low water absorption brick designed for structural applications. Manufactured using a perforated, wirecut process, it offers exceptional compressive strength, making it ideal for foundations, retaining walls, and other load-bearing projects. Its low water absorption reduces the risk of frost damage and enhances durability. As an engineering brick, it is specified for its performance rather than its appearance, meaning it is not intended for facing work. Where aesthetics are a priority, a facing brick should be used instead. Please note this product is produced in Ibstocks Chesterton factory and is therefore more suited to counties in the Midlands & South

Features & Benefits

• Highly Durable & Frost-Resistant (F2 Rated) � The dense, semi-vitreous clay body withstands severe weather and frost, ensuring long-term durability in challenging conditions.
• High Strength for Load-Bearing Use � As a Class B engineering brick, it has a compressive strength greater than 75N/mm�, making it ideal for structural applications like foundations and retaining wall
• Low Water Absorption & Salt Content (S2 Rated) � With less than 7% water absorption and low salt content, it resists moisture damage, efflorescence, and frost-related cracking for enhanced longevity.
• Precision Wire-Cut Manufacturing � Ensures a smooth, uniform finish for efficient construction, cost-effective performance, and compliance with CE marking, BS, and EU standards.
