65mm Bricks: The Standard for Strength & Style

Whether you’re embarking on a major house extension, a garden wall project, or a quick repair, 65mm bricks are the cornerstone of UK construction. At DBM DIY, we stock an extensive range of 65mm bricks designed to meet the highest standards of durability and aesthetic appeal.

As the most common brick size in the UK (standard dimensions being 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm), these bricks are engineered to integrate seamlessly into existing masonry, ensuring a professional finish for every project.

65mm Facing Bricks: Enhancing Your Kerb Appeal

The facade of your home is its first impression. Our 65mm facing bricks are selected for their superior finish and weather resistance. Unlike "common" bricks used for internal structures, facing bricks are designed to be seen.

Diverse Textures: Choose from smooth wirecut finishes for a modern look, sandfaced textures for a traditional feel, or rustic/tumbled bricks that mimic the charm of reclaimed heritage masonry.

A Palette of Colours: From classic Cheshire Reds and London Yellow Buffs to contemporary Greys and Anthracites, we have the right shade to match your existing brickwork or create a bold new statement.

High Performance: Most of our facing bricks carry an F2 durability rating, meaning they are fully frost-resistant and suitable for the unpredictable British weather.

Why Choose Standard 65mm Bricks?

Using the industry-standard 65mm height offers several practical advantages for builders and DIY enthusiasts alike:

1. Modular Precision: Designed to work with a 10mm mortar joint, these bricks help you maintain perfect coursing heights, reducing the need for awkward cuts and wasted material.

2. Structural Integrity: Our range includes Class B Engineering Bricks and high-strength concrete commons, perfect for damp proof courses (DPC), retaining walls, and groundworks where high load-bearing capacity is essential.

3. Easy Brick Matching: If you are renovating a post-war or modern property, a 65mm brick is almost certainly what you need to ensure your new extension blends perfectly with the original house.
