Ibstock Mercia Antique Brick 65mm

The Ibstock Mercia Antique Brick is a high-quality, 65mm wire-cut clay facing brick designed to provide a traditional and characterful appearance. With a rich red base blended with subtle variations of brown, orange, and darker hues, this brick offers a naturally aged look that suits both restoration projects and new builds with a period-inspired aesthetic.

Manufactured using the wire-cut method, this brick features a slightly textured surface that enhances its visual depth while maintaining consistent dimensions for ease of installation. It measures 215mm in length, 102mm in width, and 65mm in height—the standard UK brick size—making it compatible with a wide range of applications.

Structurally, the Mercia Antique Brick offers excellent performance. It has a high compressive strength of around 60 newtons per square millimetre and a low water absorption rate of approximately 7–9%. This ensures strong resistance to moisture and long-term durability, even in challenging weather conditions. The brick also carries a frost resistance rating suitable for external use across the UK.

With its robust clay composition, this brick contributes to thermal mass and acoustic insulation, supporting energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Typically supplied in packs of 500, the brick includes a perforated design that reduces weight without compromising strength.

Ideal for use in full façades, boundary walls, extensions, and architectural details, the Mercia Antique Brick brings warmth, texture, and long-lasting performance. To ensure a consistent appearance, especially in large-scale projects, it’s recommended to mix bricks from multiple packs to evenly distribute natural colour variation.

In summary, the Ibstock Mercia Antique Brick is a dependable and visually appealing choice for builders, architects, and homeowners seeking a timeless, heritage-style finish with modern durability.
