The multi-red hues and mild variation across bricks lend depth and visual richness that evolves with changing light. Whether used for full elevations, extension walls, or feature highlights, Brunswick Antique Red brings warmth and sophistication to both traditional and contemporary settings. Underneath its aesthetic appeal lies sound engineering — designed to perform under UK conditions, this brick offers durability, strength, and reliability that supports both style and substance.\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 blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003eWirecut \/ Rolled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e? 10 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2 (frost resistant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompressive Strength:\u003c\/b\u003e~ 50 N\/mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDry Brick Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e~ 2.4 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/b\u003e500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eIs Brunswick Antique Red suitable for exposed or coastal sites?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, this brick is rated for external facing use including in frost-prone or more exposed zones. In harsher environments, robust detailing (adequate cavity width, high-quality flashing, weep holes, durable mortar) will help maintain performance over time. \u003ch4\u003eHow much variety will I see in the red tone?\u003c\/h4\u003e The brick is a multi-tone product, so you’ll see nuanced shifts in red and accent tones across the wall surface. To avoid clustering of similar shades (colour banding), it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation to distribute variation evenly. \u003ch4\u003eIs a 10 % absorption rate adequate for moisture protection?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — a **? 10 % absorption** is a strong specification for a facing brick, helping resist moisture uptake. However, the wall’s long-term resistance to damp depends more on proper construction: correct cavity detailing, effective flashing, drainage, and using the right mortar are more critical than absorption 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":51448213930326,"sku":"161810","price":675.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/ibstock-brunswick-antique-red-facing-brick-pack-of-500-4786261.jpg?v=1772657003","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/ibstock-brunswick-antique-red-facing-brick-pack-of-500","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
