Blue Sill Brick 65mm with drip (IC.1.1)
Brick measurement: 152mm L x 65mm W x 140mm H </p>
The
se Staffordshire blue sill bricks are specially shaped bricks for windowsills that include a built-in drip mould underneath (a groove cut into the underside of the brick to dispel water).
Brick windowsills should be pointed with a 3:1 mortar mix to repel water. Blue bricks are imperious to water so are ideal for windowsills. We recommend an overlap of half a brick on either side of the opening for the best effect and an overhang of 75mm to direct water away from the masonry beneath.
These new (concession) bricks have a high compressive strength, low water absorption and are highly frost resistant. Structurally, they are equivalent to Class A Bricks, but are available at a fraction of the price of the same Class A brick.
As Concessions, they may have imperfections in the glaze, slight cracks, and some variability in colour. (Apologies, but we cannot cherry-pick orders for colour matching on concession bricks.)

Blue Sill Bricks are an excellent choice for windowsills, combining functionality, durability, and a distinctive aesthetic appeal. These specially shaped bricks include a built-in drip mould underneath—a groove designed to dispel water effectively. By directing water away from masonry below, Blue Sill Bricks help prevent damage and ensure the longevity of your structure.
Crafted from Staffordshire clay, these bricks are fired at exceptionally high temperatures to achieve their iconic blue colour and robust properties. Blue Sill Bricks are impervious to water, making them ideal for windowsills exposed to harsh weather. Their high compressive strength, low water absorption, and exceptional frost resistance further enhance their durability, ensuring they perform well in demanding conditions.
For the best installation results, we recommend an overlap of half a brick on either side of the window opening. An overhang of 75mm is also essential to direct water effectively away from the masonry beneath. This ensures both functionality and a visually balanced design.
As concessions, these Blue Sill Bricks are available at a fraction of the price of standard Class A Bricks. Structurally, they match the performance of Class A Bricks, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising quality. However, being concessions, they may feature imperfections in the glaze, slight cracks, or some colour variability. These natural inconsistencies add character, making them a versatile choice for both modern builds and heritage projects.
The distinctive blue hue of these bricks complements a wide range of architectural styles. Whether used in contemporary designs or traditional restorations, Blue Sill Bricks provide a timeless and elegant finish. Their inherent strength and weather resistance ensure they remain a reliable feature for years to come.
Using Blue Sill Bricks not only enhances the appearance of your windowsills but also provides practical benefits. Their impervious nature and built-in drip mould make them a superior choice for protecting masonry from water damage. Additionally, their unique aesthetic and affordability make them a standout option for builders and architects alike.
Investing in these Sill Bricks is a smart decision for projects requiring both style and durability. Their high-performance properties and striking appearance ensure they add value and visual interest to any building.
