With rich burgundy-red tones highlighted by purple and blue flashes, this brick offers a bold, elegant aesthetic that sits beautifully in both contemporary and traditional settings. The extruded, wire-cut finish gives it sharp edges, clean lines, and a textured surface that plays wonderfully with light and shadow.\n\nUnder the skin, it’s engineered to perform. Strong compressive strength, solid durability, and controlled moisture behaviour make it an excellent choice for external walls that need to look as good as they last.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDimensions (L × W × H):\u003c\/b\u003e215 × 102.5 × 65 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePack quantity:\u003c\/b\u003e400 bricks per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize tolerance:\u003c\/b\u003eT2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRange tolerance:\u003c\/b\u003eR1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGross dry density:\u003c\/b\u003e1480 kg\/m³\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompressive strength:\u003c\/b\u003e? 40 N\/mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThermal conductivity:\u003c\/b\u003e0.690 W\/(m·K)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability designation:\u003c\/b\u003eF2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaximum water absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e? 12 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReaction to fire:\u003c\/b\u003eClass A1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eActive soluble salts:\u003c\/b\u003eS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduction method:\u003c\/b\u003eExtruded, wire-cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Peak Bordeaux Blend?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nPeak 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.\n\nTechnically, 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.\n\nAltogether, it’s perfect when you want a standout brick that carries both aesthetic distinction and structural reliability.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eHow variable is the colour tone on Peak Bordeaux Blend?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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. \u003ch4\u003eIs 12 % water absorption safe for external walls?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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. \u003ch4\u003eCan Peak Bordeaux Blend handle structural loads?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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.\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":"Weinerberger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51448310792534,"sku":"162015","price":526.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/wienerberger-peak-bordeaux-blend-facing-brick-pack-of-400-6457522.jpg?v=1772656759","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/wienerberger-peak-bordeaux-blend-facing-brick-pack-of-400","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
