Beckley Red

The Beckley Red 67mm Brick by Sussex Handmade Brick is a premium handmade facing brick designed to create characterful and authentic external walls. Crafted using traditional methods, it features a deep red colour with natural tonal variation that reflects the look of historic English brickwork. This handmade appearance makes it particularly well suited to heritage-style homes and high-quality traditional builds.

This facing brick has a naturally irregular surface and shape, which adds depth and individuality to completed brickwork. Because of the handmade process, no two bricks look exactly the same. As a result, walls built with this brick feel established and full of character rather than uniform or manufactured.

In addition to its visual qualities, this Sussex Handmade Brick facing brick performs reliably in external wall construction. It suits long-term use in the UK climate and offers dependable performance over time. Builders and architects often specify this brick for new build homes, extensions, and renovation projects where appearance and authenticity are critical.

The slightly taller 67mm brick height enhances the traditional coursing pattern and helps replicate the proportions found in older properties. This makes it an excellent choice for conservation areas, period-style developments, and projects that need to blend seamlessly with existing brickwork.

The rich red colouring of this brick allows flexibility when selecting mortar colours. Lime mortars can enhance the traditional appearance, while slightly darker mortars help define joints and add contrast. This flexibility allows designers to fine-tune the finished look to suit both rural and urban settings.
