Soft Reds/Red Rubbers are original imperial bricks. Found all over England, produced at various brickworks up & down the country. They are still very much in demand.
Are sought after for decorative, conservation and restoration use and for additions where the new build will mirror the original. Often used for face work and feature work i.e. above & around windows & doorways. Not suitable for paving.
Our Soft Reds/Red Rubbers are professionally hand sorted, cleaned and graded by our own team, then consistently packed from outside in on pallets ready for re-use.
One aspect of brickwork which often causes confusion is estimating how many bricks or blocks will be required for a planned wall – you don’t want to run out before you finish but you also don’t want a pallet load of material left unused when you have finished. Making these estimates is fairly straightforward using just a few figures.
A half brick wide wall requires 60 bricks per square metre.
So the first stage is just to measure the height and length (including any piers) of the wall in metres, multiply them together to give the area in square metres, and then multiply this by 60.
So the total number of bricks for the wall is:
wall height (metres) x wall length (metres) x 60 = number of bricks
A one brick wide wall requires 120 bricks per square metre.
So the first stage is just to measure the height and length of the wall in metres, multiply them together to give the area in square metres, and then multiply this by 120.
So the total number of bricks for the wall is:
wall height (metres) x wall length (metres) x 120 = number of bricks
