Ibstock Arden Weathered Grey – Stock Facing Brick (Pack of 500)
The Arden Weathered Grey facing brick offers a striking, modern alternative to traditional reds — its soft grey and muted tones bring elegance, balance, and a neutral palette to façades. Its weathered appearance gives your walls subtle character, creating depth without overt contrast. This brick is ideal for contemporary builds, mixed-material façades, and projects aiming for a sleek, sophisticated finish. With a light texture and stock manufacture, it maintains crisp edges while still allowing mortar joints to recess and soften the overall look. Designed for real-world exposure, Arden Weathered Grey combines architectural flourish with long-term performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Arden Weathered Grey be used in exposed or coastal settings?
Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, this brick is suitable for external exposure. In more demanding environments, ensure strong detailing (cavities, flashing, drainage, quality mortar) to preserve performance over time.
How noticeable is the variation in colour?
Natural variation is part of the design. You’ll see shifts in grey tones across bricks — to avoid clustering of similar shades (colour banding), it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation.
Does 22 % absorption raise concerns about damp risk?
A **22 % absorption** rate is relatively high for facing bricks. Because of this, careful construction and detailing (proper cavity design, flashings, weep holes, compatible mortar) become especially critical to help prevent moisture issues.
