Forterra Lbc Georgian Facing Brick Pack of 390

Georgian London – London Brick (Forterra Facing Brick)

The Georgian London brick is a timeless staple in Forterra’s London Brick range, recognized for its classic red tone and elegant light texture. It’s designed for visible external walls — a true facing brick — bringing both architectural presence and performance to building façades, renovations, or extensions where matching existing London Brick work is important. Manufactured via pressed methods and finished with a light texture, Georgian London offers a clean surface with subtle tactile relief that softens mortar contrast while retaining a refined look. Its dimension consistency and structural integrity help it integrate well into both modern and traditional brickwork designs. From a performance standpoint, this brick carries a durability rating of F1, a water absorption of 23 %, and meets British / European standards for facing bricks. When installed with correct cavity detailing, flashing, weep holes, and suitable mortar, it offers long-term resistance to weathering, frost, and moisture in UK external conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Georgian London suitable for exposed or coastal sites?

Yes — as a facing brick with **F1 durability**, it’s built for external exposure. In more challenging environments, thorough detailing (strong flashings, correct cavity width, drainage, compatible mortar) will help ensure long-term performance.

How much variation should I expect in the red tone?

Because it’s a natural clay product, slight tonal shifts and variation are expected. To avoid “banding” or clustering of similar shades, it’s best to blend bricks from multiple packs during laying.

Does 23 % water absorption increase risk of damp over time?

A **≤ 23 %** absorption rate is common for many London Bricks. What really determines the wall’s moisture resilience is the quality of detailing — cavity design, flashing, weep holes, and correct mortar play a larger role than absorption alone.
