Product Details
A Sandfaced Facing Brick 65mm is a clay brick with a lightly textured, sanded surface, designed for visible exterior walls where an attractive finish is important. This brick is commonly used for building extensions, new homes, and renovation projects, especially when matching the look of traditional or post-war brickwork. It measures 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm and is valued for its durability, good compressive strength, and consistent appearance. The sandfaced texture helps disguise minor marks and gives a classic look, making it suitable for both heritage and modern designs. Sometimes called a Sandfaced London Brick or Heather Sandfaced Brick, the specific name may refer to the colour or manufacturer, but all serve the same purpose in providing a decorative and robust outer wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Sandfaced Facing Bricks 65mm do I need per square metre?
You'll need approximately 60 bricks per square metre for standard mortar joints. This calculation is based on the brick dimensions of 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm with typical 10mm mortar joints. Always add 5-10% extra for wastage and breakages.
What is the difference between Sandfaced Facing Brick 65mm and standard facing bricks?
The main difference is the surface texture and height. Sandfaced bricks have a lightly textured, sanded finish that disguises minor marks and provides a classic appearance. The 65mm height also matches traditional and post-war brickwork dimensions, whereas modern bricks are typically 73mm high.
Can Sandfaced Facing Brick 65mm be used for load-bearing walls?
Yes, these clay bricks have good compressive strength and can be used for load-bearing applications. However, structural calculations should always be carried out by a qualified engineer to ensure the wall design meets building regulations and load requirements.
Are Sandfaced Facing Bricks 65mm frost resistant?
Most quality sandfaced facing bricks are manufactured to be frost resistant, meeting BS EN 771-1 standards for durability. However, always check the manufacturer's specifications for freeze-thaw resistance ratings, especially for exposed applications in harsh weather conditions.
What mortar should I use with Sandfaced Facing Brick 65mm?
Use a standard pointing mortar mix of 1:2:9 (cement:lime:sand) or a proprietary coloured mortar to complement the brick colour. The mortar strength should not exceed the brick strength to allow for natural movement and prevent cracking.
