Pack Quantities, Samples & Best Practice Site Installation
This product listing is configured for trade supply constraints and project estimation planning:
- Standard Pack Configuration: Priced and supplied as a quantity of 400 bricks per pack (Total estimated pack weight approximately 960kg).
- Site Installation Advisory: To ensure the most natural distribution of its beautiful red-multi tones and to avoid vertical colour banding on the finished wall, builders should always mix bricks from at least three different packs during laying.
- Bespoke Volumes: If your construction project requires a custom quantity other than a standard 400-pack, please contact our team directly to discuss split-pack options.
- Physical Brick Samples: To verify the texture, tone variance, and sand-faced finish against existing brickwork, physical samples can be arranged. Use the 'Contact Us' link at the top of the page to submit your details.
