Its deep red tones and heavy, sand-creased texture impart a sense of permanence and warmth—ideal for homes, extensions, and renovations that seek a timeless masonry finish. The brick’s texture and colour variation give façades depth and interest without overwhelming uniformity. Behind the aesthetics, it’s engineered for real-world performance: suitable for exposed UK conditions when used with good wall detailing and quality mortar.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e215 × 102 × 65 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess 2 Build It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003eRed (with mixture \/ variation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrick Wholesale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003eHeavy \/ sand-creased\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrick Wholesale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e19 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess 2 Build It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2 (frost resistant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrick Wholesale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess 2 Build It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompressive Strength:\u003c\/b\u003e20 N\/mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess 2 Build It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVoids \/ Perforation:\u003c\/b\u003e8-13 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess 2 Build It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/b\u003e430 bricks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrick Wholesale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess 2 Build It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eIs Grosvenor County Mixture suitable for exposed or coastal locations?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — it has an **F2 durability rating**, making it appropriate for external use, including in conditions subject to freeze-thaw cycles. In coastal or very exposed settings, extra attention to good wall detailing (flashing, weep holes, proper cavities, compatible mortar) will help safeguard longevity. \u003ch4\u003eHow much variation in colour and texture should I expect? \u003c\/h4\u003e This is a “mixture” stock brick, so you’ll see natural shifts in red tones and surface character. To avoid visible banding or clustering of like shades, it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during laying to spread variation evenly across the facade. \u003ch4\u003eDoes 19 % water absorption pose a risk of damp over time?\u003c\/h4\u003e A **19 % absorption** figure is relatively high for a facing brick. Good detailing becomes critical to avoid moisture problems. Proper cavity design, effective flashing, drainage, and matching mortar all play a more important role in resisting moisture ingress 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":51448218026326,"sku":"161837","price":622.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/ibstock-grosvenor-county-mixture-facing-brick-pack-of-430-9563534.jpg?v=1772656948","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/ibstock-grosvenor-county-mixture-facing-brick-pack-of-430","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
