Forterra West Sussex Blend – 495 Bricks | Forterra Brick

The Forterra West Sussex Blend is a red stock thrown facing brick manufactured in Measham. Each brick measures 215 mm in width, 65 mm in height, and 102.5 mm in depth, with a dry weight of 2.2 kg. It features a frogged configuration with 5-18% voids, contributing to its structural properties and bonding capabilities. This brick has a water absorption rate of ≤ 13% and a compressive strength of ≥ 25 N/mm², ensuring durability and mechanical performance.

With a thermal conductivity of 0.51 W/m.K and durability classified as F2, the brick is frost resistant and suited to external wall construction where resilience against weathering is required. It has dimensional tolerances rated T2 mean and R1 range, maintaining consistency for uniform building work. Produced in compliance with BS EN 771-1 standards, it contains soluble salts level S2, suitable for typical masonry applications. Used for residential and commercial building projects where frost resistance and moderate thermal insulation are required.
