Its warm, red-multi tones offer a traditional look that works beautifully in both period and contemporary builds. Because it’s part of the established London Brick family, Regency is well suited to matching existing brickwork in extensions, refurbishments, or restoration projects.\n\nFinished with a light texture, Regency London provides subtle surface relief that softens the contrast between brick and mortar, giving façades depth without heavy ruggedness. The pressed manufacturing process ensures clean edges and dimensional consistency — a helpful trait for achieving crisp courses and tight jointing.\n\nUnder the hood, Regency London is designed for external durability. It carries a durability rating of F1, a water absorption of 23 %, and meets BS EN 771-1 standards. When built with proper detailing — including adequate cavities, flashing, weep holes, and compatible mortar — it delivers long-term resilience under the UK climate.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e215 × 102.5 × 65 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003eRed Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003eLight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e? 23 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF1 (suitable for general external exposure)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eIs Regency London suitable for very exposed or coastal locations?\u003c\/h4\u003e While its **F1 durability rating** is not the highest, Regency London is still suitable for many external conditions. In areas with harsh weather or coastal exposure, careful detailing—robust flashing, proper cavity design, drainage, and quality mortar—is essential to maintain longevity. \u003ch4\u003eHow much variation in tone can I expect across a build?\u003c\/h4\u003e Because this is a **multi-tone brick**, subtle variation in red hues is part of its character. To prevent noticeable clustering of similar shades (colour banding), it’s a good practice to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation for a more balanced and natural finish. \u003ch4\u003eDoes the 23 % water absorption present a risk of damp over time?\u003c\/h4\u003e A **? 23 %** absorption rating is moderately high but acceptable for many facing bricks. Moisture management is primarily determined by how well the wall is built — proper cavity detailing, flashings, weep holes, and matching mortar are more critical in preventing damp than the absorption figure alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck out our full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/building-supplies\"\u003ebuilding supplies\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/bricks-blocks\"\u003ebricks \u0026amp; blocks\u003c\/a\u003e available online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forterra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51448210489686,"sku":"161760","price":634.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/forterra-lbc-regency-facing-brick-pack-of-390-6049778.jpg?v=1772657114","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/forterra-lbc-regency-facing-brick-pack-of-390","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
