Its sand-creased stock texture softens the look of mortar joints and introduces gentle surface relief—creating a façade that reads elegant, natural, and well-balanced. This brick is especially suited to restoration work, extensions, or new builds seeking a classic aesthetic that pairs beautifully with traditional detailing or complementary modern elements. Behind its visual appeal, the Ivanhoe Olde Village brick is engineered for performance—designed to stand up to UK weather, structural demands, and long-term exposure.\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\u003eMKM Building Supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravisPerkins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003eRed \/ Red Multi blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilder Depot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravisPerkins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003eSand-creased (stock finish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMKM Building Supplies\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\u003eMKM Building Supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravisPerkins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2 (frost resistant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMKM Building Supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompressive Strength:\u003c\/b\u003e20 N\/mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMKM Building Supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravisPerkins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVoids \/ Perforation:\u003c\/b\u003e~ 8-13 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMKM Building Supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/b\u003e430 bricks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravisPerkins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMKM Building Supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eIs Ivanhoe Olde Village suitable for coastal or highly exposed environments?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — its **F2 durability rating** makes it appropriate for external use including frost cycles. In more aggressive exposures (coastal, salt spray etc.), strong detailing (adequate cavity, flashing, weep holes, compatible mortar) is essential to protect against moisture ingress and weathering. \u003ch4\u003eHow much variation in tone will I see across the wall?\u003c\/h4\u003e You can expect gentle variation across the red \/ multi tones—part of the natural appeal. To avoid clusters of similar shades or visible banding, it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during laying so that the variation spreads evenly across the façade. \u003ch4\u003eDoes the 19 % absorption make the brick vulnerable to damp over time?\u003c\/h4\u003e A **19 % water absorption** is moderately high. Because of that, the quality of construction matters more than ever. Correct cavity design, reliable flashing, good drainage, and using compatible mortar are critical to prevent moisture penetration and ensure longevity.\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":51448218321238,"sku":"161842","price":588.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/ibstock-ivanhoe-olde-village-facing-brick-pack-of-430-8785225.jpg?v=1772656950","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/ibstock-ivanhoe-olde-village-facing-brick-pack-of-430","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
