Question 1

How do Class B engineering bricks compare to Class A bricks?

Accepted Answer

Class B engineering bricks generally have a lower compressive strength, typically up to 75 MPa, making them suitable for general structural support and non-critical applications. In contrast, Class A engineering bricks exceed 75 MPa in strength and are designed for high-stress, load-bearing roles such as foundations, supporting heavy walls, and critical load-bearing structures. While Class B bricks offer reliable support for most standard projects, Class A bricks are preferred where maximum strength and durability are essential, particularly in demanding environments or structural components requiring the highest standards of safety and longevity.

Question 2

How much do Class B engineering bricks cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of Class B engineering bricks depends on factors such as size, supplier, and order quantity. On average, prices range from £0.80 to £1.50 per brick, with bulk purchases, pallet orders, or large-volume deals often securing significant discounts. For sizable projects or high-volume requirements, it’s advisable to compare quotes from multiple reputable suppliers to ensure you receive the best balance of quality and value. Opting for bulk buying not only reduces costs but also guarantees a consistent supply, making it an economical choice for contractors and builders alike.
