Blue Bricks
Blue bricks, especially blue engineering bricks and blue facing bricks, are a mainstay in construction. Architects and contractors choose them for their unique colour, moisture resistance, and durable structure.
This unique finish makes them a statement piece on exteriors and a bulwark in damp-prone areas.
Key Features of Blue Bricks
Blue bricks are usually Class B (and A in some cases), with a compressive strength of ≥ 75 N/mm², less than 7% water absorption, and F2 frost rating according to British standards. This makes them suitable for the moisture-laden, temperate UK climate.
A prime example of this in our catalogue is the Wienerberger K209 Class B Blue brick.
Most blue facing bricks, like the Staffordshire Smooth Blue from Wienerberger, follow standard UK sizes with T2/R1 tolerances for uniformity and ease of laying.
Due to the dramatic colour, they are ideal for use in visible areas and beautification.
Benefits of Blue Bricks
Durability and Longevity
The high compressive strength of blue wall bricks and the weather resistance of examples like the Ibstock Brunel Smooth Blue facing brick give homeowners and builders guaranteed lasting performance, even in exposed environments.
Cost-Effective
Blue brick prices can be slightly higher than those of more common brick types. However, this is offset by their resilience and value in the long run.
Aesthetic Appeal
Some of the deep blue bricks, like the Wienerberger K201 Staffordshire Smooth Blue, create a striking exterior that adds an imposing touch of sophistication.
Energy and Weather Efficiency
Most blue bricks are rated 6% to 7% on water absorption, meaning they withstand wet conditions, such as frost and rain, much better. This contributes to a home or building’s longevity.
Eco-Friendly Processing
Blue bricks come from natural clay and, like many of the items in our catalogue, are durable, recyclable, and environmentally sound.
What Are Blue Bricks Used For?
Blue bricks perform impressively across diverse applications. Some of the include:
- Structural uses– Owing to their strength and low moisture uptake, you’ll find blue bricks in foundations, retaining walls, DPCs (damp-proof courses), and sub-grade structures (blue engineering bricks).
- Industrial and civil engineering projects– Bricks like the Wienerberger K109 Class B Blue are perfect for exposed, corrosive environments. With blue engineering bricks, you can build yard structures to withstand the elements.
- Decoration– Blue facing bricks, with their unique colour, are often used to decorate facades, garden walls, caps, and paving.

FAQs
Are blue bricks waterproof?
Blue engineering bricks are highly resistant, with water absorption as low as 4.5% (which puts them in Class A) or up to 7% (Class B). They are nearly impervious to moisture and are often used in damp-prone sites.
How do I clean blue bricks?
To clean them, use special-purpose masonry cleaners or a diluted mild detergent. Do not use harsh acids. If you are trying to get rid of paint or cement stains, soft brushing and remediation cleaners will do the job.
Why are engineering bricks blue?
It all comes down to the type of clay and the firing technique. The kiln is designed to burn with a reduced atmosphere, which causes the iron in the clay to vitrify and become a distinct shade of blue. It also makes the brick very strong.
How are blue bricks made?
Blue bricks are produced by firing clay at high temperatures in reducing atmospheres. This causes vitrification, producing a low-porosity, dense brick with high compressive strength and that highly noticeable colour.
