The Anglian Beacon Sahara 73 mm facing brick is a robust, wire-cut extruded clay unit whose warm buff hue and subtly rusticated texture lend façades an elegant, handcrafted character. Measuring 215 × 102 × 73 mm, each brick features vertical perforations that account for approximately 23–28 % voids—reducing the dry weight to around 2.3 kg for easier handling, enhancing thermal and acoustic insulation, and providing an exceptional mechanical key for mortar, which accelerates laying rates and ensures uniformly strong joints.

Manufactured to BS EN 771-1 standards at Ibstock’s Aldridge works (Ibstock code C0258A), these units deliver a minimum compressive strength of 45 N/mm² and water absorption below 12 %, with an S2 rating for soluble salts and full frost resistance (F2)—qualities that guarantee long-term durability in exposed UK conditions.

Supplied in banded packs of 332 bricks, the Beacon Sahara 73 mm brick combines precise dimensional tolerances (T2/R1) and razor-sharp edges with a softly textured, sun-lit appearance—ideal for everything from feature walls and garden enclosures to full residential or commercial façades that demand both performance and timeless aesthetic appeal.
