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.\n\nProduced 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.\n\nThis 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.\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\u003e(Varied — selected regrades; tones similar to parent range)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003e(Varied — may include light, indented, or pressed finishes)\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 \/ standard facing brick grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWhat does “selected regrades” mean in this pack?\u003c\/h4\u003e “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. \u003ch4\u003eCan these regrades be used on visible external facades?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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. \u003ch4\u003eDoes the ? 23 % water absorption and F1 durability still offer reliable performance?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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.\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":51448210424150,"sku":"161759","price":432.21,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/forterra-lbc-regrade-common-brick-utility-pack-of-390","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
