Tudor Imperial

The Tudor Imperial 67mm Brick by Sussex Handmade Brick is a traditional handmade facing brick designed to replicate the proportions and character of historic English brickwork. Crafted using established handmade methods, it features a rich red to dark red tone with natural variation that reflects period construction. This authentic appearance makes it particularly well suited to heritage-style homes and conservation-led projects.

This facing brick has an irregular surface texture and gently varied shape, which adds depth and individuality to completed walls. Because of the handmade process, each brick carries subtle differences in tone and form. As a result, brickwork feels 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 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 historical accuracy and craftsmanship matter.

The imperial 67mm brick height recreates traditional coursing proportions found in older properties. This helps new brickwork blend seamlessly with existing buildings and supports sympathetic design in conservation areas and period developments.

The deeper red colouring of this brick allows flexibility when selecting mortar types and colours. Lime mortars can enhance the historic appearance, while darker mortars help define joints and add depth. This flexibility allows designers to fine-tune the finished look to suit rural, village, and heritage settings.
