Its classic appearance makes it a good choice for both new builds and renovation projects. As with all clay bricks, small variations in shade are natural — mixing bricks from at least three packs on site helps achieve a more consistent overall look.\n\nThis brick combines aesthetic charm and reliable performance. It’s suitable for normal external exposure, offering adequate compressive strength, frost resistance, and acceptable water absorption rates.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e215mm × 102mm × 65mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003eRed blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003eSmooth (stock finish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompressive Strength:\u003c\/b\u003e15 N\/mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/b\u003e476\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eActive Soluble Salts:\u003c\/b\u003eS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDescription \u0026amp; Usage Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e Made via the stock (soft-mud) process, this brick has a smooth, slightly textured surface that gives a traditional look without being overly rustic. Its blended red tones allow it to complement a variety of architectural styles.\n\nIts F2 durability rating provides frost resistance suited for most UK external wall applications. The 13% water absorption is moderate — so good detailing (cavity walls, flashing, drainage and correct mortar) is important to ensure long-term performance.\n\nWhen laying, always mix bricks from multiple packs to reduce the appearance of colour banding. Viewing a physical sample or requesting additional photos before placing a bulk order is recommended to confirm that the tone and finish match your expectations.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eIs 13% water absorption acceptable for exterior use?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — 13% is within the typical range for stock bricks. With proper wall detailing and moisture management, it performs reliably. \u003ch4\u003eWhat does the F2 durability rating mean?\u003c\/h4\u003e F2 indicates that the brick is frost-resistant and suitable for general external exposure in the UK. For highly aggressive environments (like direct sea spray or extreme freeze-thaw conditions), a more robust brick may be preferable. \u003ch4\u003eWill there be shade variation between packs?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — variation is natural in clay bricks, especially blends. Mixing bricks from at least three packs during installation helps to create a more harmonious finish.\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":51448278843734,"sku":"161884","price":681.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/ibstock-tyneham-blend-facing-brick-pack-of-476-1137146.jpg?v=1772656873","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/ibstock-tyneham-blend-facing-brick-pack-of-476","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
