With a clean wirecut finish and the reliability of modern manufacturing, Grampian strikes the balance between classic appeal and structural integrity.\n\nDesigned to take on the UK climate, this brick is more than just decorative.

In more challenging or coastal settings, careful detailing (cavities, flashings, drainage, matching mortar) becomes even more crucial to preserve long-term performance. \u003ch4\u003eHow consistent will the red tone be across the wall?\u003c\/h4\u003e While the brick is produced to maintain overall consistency, variation is part of the “mixture” appeal. You’ll notice subtle shifts in red shades across bricks. To minimize visual banding, it’s best practice to **mix bricks from multiple packs** as you build. \u003ch4\u003eDoes the 7 % absorption make this brick more resistant to damp?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — a **? 7 % absorption** is considered low and beneficial in limiting moisture uptake. However, the best protection against damp comes from sound wall construction: proper cavity design, flashings, weep holes, and compatible mortar are more effective 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":51448217928022,"sku":"161836","price":640.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/ibstock-ibstock-grampian-mixture-65mm-facing-brick-pack-of-500-4170500.jpg?v=1772656995","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/ibstock-ibstock-grampian-mixture-65mm-facing-brick-pack-of-500","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
