London Brick Company (Forterra) Selected Regrades – Facing Brick (Pack of 390)
The Selected Regrades Facing Brick from London Brick Company (Forterra) provides an economical solution when appearance is slightly relaxed — ideal for projects where small cosmetic variations are acceptable. This pack of 390 bricks retains the dimensional and structural standards of facing bricks, making it useful for both visible and semi-visible applications. Because it’s a regrade, each brick may have minor surface imperfections, ensuring cost savings while still delivering sound performance.
Produced by Forterra under the respected London Brick / LBC brand, these regrades are manufactured using the same clay formulations and pressed processes as regular facing bricks. They’re designed to maintain strength and durability, making them a strong option in applications where perfect aesthetics aren’t critical but structural integrity is still required.
This regrade pack is often used in background walls, less visible elevations, or blended into feature façades to reduce cost without compromising on quality. Because they are still “facing bricks” (albeit regraded), they can be used in many external wall situations — just expect a little more variation in surface finish or texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “selected regrades” mean in this pack?
“Selected regrades” are bricks that meet structural and dimensional criteria but may have minor cosmetic imperfections — surface marks, colour variation, slight texture deviations. They’re ideal where a perfect finish isn’t essential but durability and compatibility remain important.
Can these regrades be used on visible external facades?
Yes — they still have the structural qualities of facing bricks and can be used on exposed walls. However, because of surface variation, blending them carefully with standard bricks or using them on less prominent façades helps maintain visual coherence across the build.
Does the ? 23 % water absorption and F1 durability still offer reliable performance?
Yes — these bricks retain typical facing brick specifications. When installed with correct detailing (cavities, flashings, weep holes, matching mortar), they can perform reliably in usual external conditions. The regrade label affects appearance more than structural performance.
