Manufactured using the Waterstruck method the Gillingham Red has a genuine visual depth: the dark red body of the brick takes on different qualities depending on the light, making elevations feel warm and handcrafted rather than industrially produced.

• Extensions to Victorian or Edwardian red-brick properties where matching the parent building's depth and variation is important.
• Commercial or mixed-use schemes.
Q: Is the Gillingham Red suitable for external walls?
A: Yes. The Gillingham Red carries an F2 durability rating, making it fully frost resistant and suitable for all external applications across the UK, including exposed locations. It is manufactured to BS EN 771-1 with an S2 soluble salt classification.
Q: What is a Waterstruck Brick?
A: Waterstruck bricks are made using the soft-mud method, where clay with a relatively high water content is pressed into moulds wetted with water. The water acts as a release agent, and as it evaporates it draws fine surface variations into the face of the brick. The end result is a uniquely smooth finish with a soft and natural appearance.
Q: Why are Waterstruck bricks popular?
A: Waterstruck bricks are highly sought after by architects and builders for their specific visual traits, with distinct textures combined with high durability and a slightly faded rustic charm.
Q: How many bricks come in a pack?
A: A standard pack of Gillingham Red contains 560 bricks.
Q: Can I request a sample?
A: Yes, sample bricks and site reference panel boards are available on request. Use the sample form on this page or contact us directly.
