Ibstock Ashdown Mixture Facing Brick Pack of 500

Ibstock Funton Ashdown Mixture – Stock / Facing Brick (Pack of 500)

The Funton Ashdown Mixture facing brick offers a beautifully balanced blend of buff, yellow, and warm earthy tones that provide soft variation and natural warmth to any façade. Whether used across full elevations, extensions, or feature walls, its multi-tone appeal helps avoid flat uniformity while remaining elegantly subtle. The light texture finish adds gentle relief to the surface, creating shadow play without overwhelming the bricks’ natural hues. This brick is a smart choice when you want a warm, classic look with character — especially in projects that aim to blend modern and traditional styles. Behind the attractive surface lies sturdy performance: engineered to meet UK exposure demands, it combines aesthetic presence with dependable structural qualities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Funton Ashdown Mixture suitable for exposed or coastal environments?

Yes — its **F2 durability rating** indicates it is built to handle external exposure, including freeze–thaw cycles. In more demanding settings (coastal, heavily exposed), ensure robust detailing (flashing, drainage, cavity design, good mortar) to preserve the brickwork long term.

How much variation will I see in the colour mix?

The “mixture” finish intentionally introduces variation in buff, yellow, and light earth tones. To avoid clusters of similar shades or apparent color banding, best practice is to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during laying so that the tones distribute evenly.

Does a 15 % absorption rate increase the risk of damp over time?

A **≤ 15 % absorption** is within acceptable limits for facing bricks. The wall’s true resilience against moisture depends more on the quality of installation: correct cavities, effective flashing, weep holes, and compatible mortar are far more critical than absorption alone.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
