Ibstock Funton Harvest Mixture – Stock / Facing Brick (Pack of 500)
The Funton Harvest Mixture facing brick offers a sophisticated blend of buff and yellow tones that bring warmth, subtle variation, and a soft elegance to façades. Rather than flat uniformity, its multi-tone palette introduces visual interest and depth, especially as sunlight and shadows change throughout the day. The light, sandfaced texture helps mortar lines recede and gives the wall a refined, tactile finish. This brick is a smart choice for new builds, extensions, feature walls, or restoration projects where a warm, characterful aesthetic is desired without sacrificing performance. Underneath its beautiful appearance, the Harvest Mixture is engineered for external durability, making it dependable for UK climate exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Funton Harvest Mixture be used in coastal or exposed locations?
Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, this brick is suitable for external exposure and freeze–thaw conditions. In especially harsh environments (coastal, salt spray, high winds), careful detailing—like proper cavity design, flashing, drainage, and quality mortar—is especially important to preserve performance.
How noticeable is the variation in the “mixture” colouring?
You’ll see gentle shifts in buff and yellow shades across the bricks. To prevent clustering or “colour banding,” best practice is to **mix bricks from multiple packs** when laying, so the tones spread naturally across the façade.
Does a 21 % water absorption rate raise concerns about damp over time?
A **21 % absorption** is relatively high for a facing brick. That means correct installation is crucial: effective cavity details, flashing, proper drainage, and compatible mortar become key components in preventing long-term moisture issues.
