Please be aware, the colour doesn’t match the blue in the special shape bricks.

The Ibstock Brunel Blue Smooth Facing Brick is a high-quality, wire-cut unit measuring the UK standard 215 × 102.5 × 65 mm, ideal for creating striking external walls on both domestic and commercial buildings. Its cool, mid-blue hue comes through a consistent firing process, while the smooth-textured face subtly catches and reflects daylight, lending façades a refined, contemporary character. Precision extrusion and wire-cutting deliver razor-sharp edges and tight dimensional tolerances, ensuring neat, even mortar beds and minimal on-site cutting.

Manufactured from dense, clay-rich bodies, these bricks combine a low water absorption of around 6 percent with a minimum compressive strength of 75 N/mm², providing excellent resistance to moisture, freeze-thaw cycling and mechanical stress. Rated F2 for frost performance and A1 for reaction to fire, they stand up to exposed UK climates year after year. Vertical perforations reduce each brick’s dry weight—making handling and laying faster—while also improving thermal and acoustic insulation within the wall and creating an exceptional mechanical key for mortar. Whether you’re specifying a bold accent wall or cladding an entire elevation, the Brunel Blue Smooth Facing Brick brings enduring durability, effortless installation and a timelessly modern aesthetic to any project.
