The Marlborough Stock Brick is a high-quality, traditional-style facing brick designed to deliver both visual charm and structural dependability. Measuring 215mm in length, 102mm in depth, and 65mm in height, this standard-sized brick is ideal for a wide range of construction applications. It features a warm buff to light brown coloration, with subtle variations that give it a natural, weathered appearance. Its sand-faced surface adds a gentle texture, enhancing the traditional look and feel.
Manufactured using a stock process, this brick typically includes a single frog (a shallow indentation), which reduces weight without compromising strength. It has a compressive strength of around 15 newtons per square millimetre and a water absorption rate of approximately 13%. With a frost resistance rating suited for external environments, it performs well in varied UK weather conditions.
The Marlborough Stock Brick is well-suited for full building façades, garden walls, extensions, and feature detailing. Its neutral tones make it especially versatile, pairing easily with other materials such as timber, natural stone, or contrasting brickwork. Additionally, its clay composition supports good thermal mass and acoustic insulation, helping to improve energy efficiency and comfort in both residential and commercial settings.
To achieve a consistent, natural finish across large surfaces, it is recommended to mix bricks from multiple packs during installation. Overall, the Marlborough Stock Brick provides a timeless aesthetic, solid durability, and the reliable quality that builders, architects, and homeowners value in a facing brick.
