Product Details
LBC Common Brick 65mm is a standard-sized clay brick commonly used for general building work, including extensions, renovations, and internal or external walls where a decorative finish is not essential. Its pressed, sandfaced texture and variable buff or red multi colour make it suitable for functional and below damp-proof course (DPC) applications, though it can be used as a facing brick if a uniform appearance is not required. The brick measures 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm and is known for its strength and durability, making it a reliable choice for structural work. Colour and texture may vary between batches due to the natural materials used, so it's best to consider this if matching existing brickwork. Alternative names like Fletton or Pressed Common refer to the same type of brick, often used interchangeably depending on regional or supplier preferences.
