Tudor Metic (65mm)

The Tudor Metric 65mm Brick by Sussex Handmade Brick is a traditional handmade facing brick designed to replicate the character and appearance of historic English brickwork while using modern metric sizing. Produced using established handmade techniques, it features rich red tones with subtle darker variation that reflect classic Tudor-style architecture. This authentic finish makes it well suited to both heritage-style homes and high-quality traditional new builds. This facing brick has an irregular surface texture and gently varied shape, which adds depth and individuality to completed brickwork. Because of the handmade manufacturing process, each brick displays natural variation in colour and form. As a result, walls built with this brick feel established and full of character rather than uniform or mass-produced. In addition to its visual qualities, this Sussex Handmade Brick facing brick performs reliably in external wall construction. It supports long-term use in typical UK weather conditions and delivers dependable performance over time. Builders and architects often specify this brick for new build homes, extensions, and renovation projects where traditional appearance and modern construction standards must work together. The metric 65mm brick height provides compatibility with modern building practices while maintaining the proportions expected of traditional brickwork. This balance makes the brick suitable for developments that need to blend seamlessly with surrounding properties or comply with contemporary construction requirements. The deep red colouring of this brick allows flexibility when selecting mortar types and colours. Lime mortars can enhance the traditional character, while darker mortars help define joints and add contrast. This versatility allows designers to fine-tune the finished appearance to suit rural, village, and conservation-influenced settings.
