Why Choose Shipley Blend?

Shipley Blend offers a sophisticated “blend” of red tones, allowing façades to change subtly in response to light and weather — giving depth without harsh contrast. Its wirecut texture gives clean edges and crisp masonry lines, while still retaining a surface that’s tactile and visually engaging. On performance, it stands strong. A compressive strength of 60 N/mm² makes it suitable for demanding masonry applications. Its low water absorption (? 10 %) helps control moisture risk, and the F2 durability rating ensures it can face exposed conditions reliably. Combined with a solid thermal conductivity and fire safety rating, it’s a robust choice for long-lasting external walls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the blend of red tones look inconsistent across a wall?

There will always be natural variation as part of the “blend” effect. To maintain balance, mix bricks from multiple packs during installation and avoid clustering bricks from individual packs.

Is ? 10 % water absorption good for UK external use?

Yes — that’s a low absorption rate and helps limit moisture uptake. Still, the brick must be combined with good detailing (cavity walls, flashings, DPCs) to ensure long-term performance.

Can Shipley Blend be used for load-bearing masonry?

Yes. With its high compressive strength of 60 N/mm², Shipley Blend is more than capable of structural use. However, always verify with your structural engineer, design loads, and building regulations for your specific application.

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.
