Freshfield Lane
Sussex clamp-fired stock bricks — burnt in a clamp rather than a kiln, which gives the scorched, variegated face specified across the South East. At 311 kgCO₂e per tonne it sits between the group’s extruded works and its Hampshire stock.
Carbon and evidence
Product Evidence
Evidence currently held for the Michelmersh product record.
Recorded Carbon Result
A1–A3 GWP-total per tonne of brick. GWP-fossil is 317. For scale, UK independents in this catalogue run from −15.4 (an unfired earth block) through 106 for a wood-fired brick to 697 for a Hoffman-kiln handmade one — "clay brick" is not one number, and the firing route is what sets it.
Indicator: GWP-total
Freshfield Lane (HUB-6020)A1–A3 covers raw-material supply, transport to manufacture and manufacturing. It is product-stage information, not a whole-life result.
