The Atherstone Red bricks by Forterra are high-quality facing bricks that deliver a timeless red finish with natural variation. Their deep, warm colouring creates façades that feel traditional, authentic, and full of character. As a result, they are an excellent choice for projects that require a strong red tone, whether for new builds, extensions, or heritage-style developments. Their appearance helps properties blend seamlessly with established surroundings while maintaining a fresh, long-lasting look.
In addition to their attractive colour, the Atherstone Red bricks are valued for their durability. Forterra manufactures them to exacting standards, ensuring every batch offers strength and consistency. They are highly weather-resistant, making them suitable for use across a wide range of environments. Builders and architects appreciate their accurate sizing, which supports precise laying, neat jointing, and professional results. This reliability makes them a trusted choice for both residential and commercial projects where long-term performance is essential.
The Atherstone Red is a versatile brick that adapts well to different design styles. Its rich tone works perfectly in rural settings, traditional housing schemes, and conservation projects. At the same time, it provides a bold, classic contrast in contemporary architecture. Indoors, these bricks can also be used to create striking feature walls that add warmth and character to kitchens, living spaces, or commercial interiors. Furthermore, their deep red colouring pairs naturally with materials such as stone, render, timber, and glass.
