Why Choose Peak Bordeaux Blend?

Peak Bordeaux Blend is much more than a “red brick.” Its multi-tonal character—blending burgundy, deep reds, and bluish flashes—gives façades life and variation rather than a flat finish. The wire-cut, dragfaced texture produces crisp edges and fine detail, ideal for refined architectural work. Technically, it holds up very well. With a compressive strength of at least 40 N/mm² and F2 durability, it’s built for exposed conditions. The water absorption is tightly controlled (12 %), reducing risk of moisture ingress when well detailed. Its thermal conductivity and fire class make it suitable for current building standards. Altogether, it’s perfect when you want a standout brick that carries both aesthetic distinction and structural reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How variable is the colour tone on Peak Bordeaux Blend?

Quite a bit—and that’s by design. The brick deliberately includes a mix of burgundy reds with purple and blue flashes. These natural variations give richness and depth to the wall. To maintain a balanced look, blend bricks from multiple packs during laying.

Is 12 % water absorption safe for external walls?

Yes. A water absorption rate of ? 12 % is relatively low and helps the brick resist moisture uptake. Still, proper detailing—good cavity systems, DPCs, flashings—is necessary to ensure reliable performance over time.

Can Peak Bordeaux Blend handle structural loads?

Yes. With its high compressive strength (? 40 N/mm²), this brick is capable of loadbearing use in many typical masonry designs. Always confirm loads, mortar choices, lintel support, and regulatory compliance for your specific project.
