What is the Ibstock Arden Weathered Red Brick?
The Ibstock Arden Weathered Red is a premium clay facing brick engineered with a traditional, subtly distressed aesthetic mimicking reclaimed brickwork. Manufactured at Ibstock’s Parkhouse works using a thrown, soft-mud (stock) process, these 215 x 102 x 65mm single-frog bricks feature a rich red hue and lightly sanded texture, making them ideal for traditional UK facades, heritage renovations, and rustic new builds.
