Combined with a Class A1 fire rating, it meets the standards for safety and resilience in construction.
Frequently Asked Questions
How consistent is the colour of Pembridge Red?
The brick has a strong, uniform red tone with minimal variation, making it ideal for projects where a consistent façade is important. However, as with all clay bricks, slight differences may occur naturally.
Is ? 10 % water absorption good for external walls?
Yes. A 10 % absorption rate is considered low and helps resist water penetration. With proper cavity design, DPCs, and flashing, this ensures long-term weather resistance.
Can Pembridge Red be used for structural walls?
Absolutely. With its high compressive strength of 60 N/mm², Pembridge Red is well-suited for loadbearing and structural applications. Always confirm specific requirements with your structural engineer to ensure compliance with local building regulations.
