Ibstock Heritage Red Blend – Stock Facing Brick (Pack of 500)
The Heritage Red Blend facing brick from Ibstock brings together classic red tones with a subtle blend that adds richness and softness to facades. Its blend is enough to give character, but not so extreme as to draw attention away from the architecture. With a light texture and sandfaced stock finish, the surface is pleasantly tactile—softening mortar lines and enhancing light play without looking overly rugged. This brick is ideal when you want a confident red presence that still offers visual nuance, whether on full elevations, extensions, or feature walls. Underneath its aesthetic appeal, Heritage Red Blend is engineered for longevity: combining exposure performance, strength, and reliable structural attributes to ensure your façade retains both its beauty and integrity over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Heritage Red Blend suitable for exposed or coastal environments?
Yes — with its **F2 durability**, this brick is built to withstand external exposure, including freeze–thaw cycles. In more extreme settings (coastal, high wind, salt spray), careful detailing such as proper cavity width, quality flashing, weep holes, and compatible mortar becomes even more critical for long-term performance.
How strong is the red blend variation?
The “blend” effect introduces purposeful variation in red tones, giving depth and interest. To avoid visual banding or clusters of similar shades, it’s best practice to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation so the variation distributes evenly across the wall.
Does a 19 % absorption risk damp issues over time?
A **? 19 % water absorption** is on the higher side for facing bricks. Because of this, the way the wall is built matters more than ever—correct cavity detailing, flashing, drainage, and mortar selection are key defenses against moisture ingress.
