Everything you need to know about Forterra Measham Chelsea Smoked Red Brick 65mm
Description
Buying Chelsea Smoked Red by the Brick
The Chelsea Smoked Red is a 65mm Forterra facing brick from the Measham works. Because it's sold by the brick, it suits jobs that need an exact number: a raised bed, a pair of piers, a repair patch or a short wall. It's listed on the Forterra Measham Autumn Glow Brick page alongside the Autumn Glow 65mm, so you can compare the two.
Small Job Quantities
Assumptions: 215 x 102.5 x 65mm bricks, 10mm joints, about 60 bricks per m² in a half brick wall. 65mm bricks with 10mm joints give 75mm courses, so 1,000 / 75 = 13.3, rounded up to 14 courses per metre. Each figure before waste is rounded up, then multiplied by 1.1 and rounded up again.
- Raised bed 2m x 1m, 450mm high, half brick: 6m of wall x 0.45m = 2.7m², 162 bricks before waste, or 179 with 10% added for waste.
- Brick pier one brick square (215mm), 1.2m high: 1,200 / 75 = 16 courses x 2 bricks = 32 bricks before waste, or 36 with 10% added for waste.
- Repair patch 0.8m², half brick: 48 bricks before waste, or 53 with 10% added for waste.
These are general guidance figures, not measured for this product.
Matching on a Repair
- Order a few first and check them against your wall, wet and dry, before buying the rest.
- Match the joint colour and finish to the old mortar.
- New bricks can look brighter than weathered ones at first.
Exposure
For copings, retaining walls or brickwork below the damp proof course, confirm the frost rating with your designer or building control before you order. The technical figures for this brick aren't listed on this page yet.
