Manufactured with consistent quality in mind, it’s not just about looks — this brick is built to perform under real conditions, combining structural reliability with aesthetic appeal to deliver enduring façades.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e215 × 102.5 × 65 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003eRed \/ Red Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003eStock (light)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e? 15 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompressive Strength:\u003c\/b\u003e30 N\/mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eCan Bexhill Red be used in highly exposed or coastal environments?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — its **F2 durability rating** means the brick is suitable for external use even under harsh conditions. In coastal or more extreme locations, careful detailing (flashing, cavity design, weep holes, quality mortar) becomes especially important for long-term performance. \u003ch4\u003eHow much variation will there be in the red tone across the wall?\u003c\/h4\u003e The finish intentionally includes some tonal variation. To avoid visible “colour banding,” it’s best practice to **mix bricks from several packs** during installation so that variation spreads evenly across the wall. \u003ch4\u003eIs a 15 % absorption rate risky in terms of damp over time?\u003c\/h4\u003e No — **? 15 % absorption** is within common limits for facing bricks. The wall’s resistance to moisture depends far more on correct installation (cavities, flashings, drainage, mortar) than the absorption figure alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck out our full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/building-supplies\"\u003ebuilding supplies\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/bricks-blocks\"\u003ebricks \u0026amp; blocks\u003c\/a\u003e available online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ibstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51448212914518,"sku":"161798","price":768.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/ibstock-bexhill-red-facing-brick-pack-of-500-6965724.jpg?v=1772657072","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/ibstock-bexhill-red-facing-brick-pack-of-500","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
