What are the main types of bricks used in construction?
The three main types are facing, engineering, and common bricks. Facing bricks are chosen for their visual appeal on exterior walls. Engineering bricks are exceptionally strong and water-resistant for foundations, while common bricks are used for hidden internal structural work.
What are the standard sizes for bricks and blocks in the UK?
A standard UK metric house brick measures 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm. Concrete blocks are much larger, usually measuring 440mm long by 215mm high, with the thickness varying based on your project's structural needs.
What is the main difference between bricks and concrete blocks?
Bricks are made from fired clay, offering a classic look and great insulation for traditional builds. Concrete blocks consist of cement, sand, and aggregates. They are larger and structurally stronger, making them ideal for faster construction and heavy load-bearing walls.
Can I buy bricks by the pack?
Yes, we sell bricks by each, but we also sell by the pack for some facing bricks.
