Ibstock New Sandhurst Stock – Facing Brick (Pack of 500)
The New Sandhurst Stock brick brings a classic red / red-multi character with a gently weathered feel that suits both traditional and contemporary schemes. Its subtle tonal variation avoids a flat, uniform look, so façades feel warm and alive as light changes throughout the day. The sandfaced surface introduces fine, tactile relief that helps mortar joints recede, creating a balanced, authentic appearance across large elevations or feature panels. Whether you’re matching existing masonry, extending a period home, or specifying a new build that needs timeless street appeal, New Sandhurst strikes a smart balance of aesthetics and performance. Designed for UK exposure, it offers dependable frost resistance and steady, real-world durability when detailed correctly—so your brickwork looks great on day one and continues to perform for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it suitable for exposed or coastal locations?
Yes — its **F2** rating means it’s appropriate for external exposure. In harsher or coastal sites, pay extra attention to flashing, drainage, cavity width, and mortar choice.
How much colour variation will I see?
Expect gentle variation across reds and accents. To avoid banding, **blend bricks from multiple packs** during installation.
Does 13 % water absorption risk damp?
It’s a moderate figure and perfectly acceptable when the wall is detailed correctly — cavities, weep holes, flashings, and compatible mortar are the key safeguards.
