Ibstock Leicester Orange Facing Brick Pack of 500

Ibstock Leicester Orange Stock – Stock Facing Brick (Pack of 500)

The Leicester Orange Stock facing brick brings a bold, warm character to external walls with its vibrant orange-reddish hue and subtle clay tone variation. Designed to elevate building façades, it adds visual warmth and energy while retaining an elegant and refined presence. The sand-faced stock texture gives the surface a gentle relief that softens mortar lines, helping the wall to read as cohesive and natural rather than rigid. This brick works beautifully in both full elevations and feature walls—whether for new homes, extensions, or refurbishments—offering a striking yet timeless look. Engineered for performance, it stands up to frost, moisture, and UK external conditions, ensuring your walls remain durable and eye-catching for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Leicester Orange Stock suitable for exposed or coastal use?

Yes — its **F2 durability** makes it appropriate for external exposure and freeze-thaw conditions. In more demanding locations (e.g. coastal zones), ensure high-quality detailing: good cavity design, flashing, drainage, and compatible mortar.

Will the orange tone vary noticeably across the wall?

Some variation is expected due to natural clay and firing processes, which adds to the brick’s character. To avoid clustering of similar tones or visible “colour bands,” **mix bricks from multiple packs** during laying.

Does a 19 % absorption rate increase the risk of damp over time?

A **19 % absorption** level is moderate for facing bricks. That said, long-term moisture control depends much more on how the wall is built—correct cavity spacing, effective flashing, drainage, and compatible mortar are essential to minimize damp risk.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
