Ketley Brick Company Ltd. are one of the very few manufacturers who can produce solid Red Engineering bricks to a Class A specification. 

Ketley Staffordshire Red Class A bricks are used in a broad variety of applications either due to their acid resistance and strength or for aesthetic and architectural purposes.  This means Ketley Staffordshire Reds can be seen in commercial developments, landscaping, and for structural uses such as bridges and factory walls.
