The Birtley Olde English Brick is a waterstruck, distressed facing brick that captures the rustic charm of traditional stock units while offering the consistency of modern manufacture. Each brick measures the UK standard 215 × 102.5 × 65 mm, slotting effortlessly into stretcher, Flemish or English bond patterns and ensuring tight, uniform joints with minimal cutting. Its gently rolled texture and subtle surface striations catch and soften daylight, imparting façades with a time-worn patina that matures gracefully over the years.
Manufactured from dense, clay-rich body, these bricks deliver a high thermal mass and excellent acoustic insulation, while vertical cores reduce individual dry weight (approximately 2.7 kg) for easier handling on site. The waterstruck production method creates fine, irregular surface detailing without compromising on structural performance: each unit achieves full frost resistance (F2), low water absorption and conforms to tight dimensional tolerances for razor-sharp edges and consistent beds. Supplied in packs of 392, the Birtley Olde English Brick combines enduring durability, low-maintenance resilience and a warm, richly textured appearance—ideal for everything from sensitive heritage restorations to contemporary garden walls and feature elevations.
