IB379 Imperial Blend (68mm)

The IB379 Imperial Blend 68mm Brick by Imperial Bricks is a traditional facing brick designed to replicate the varied appearance of historic imperial brickwork. Manufactured to achieve an established and characterful finish, it features a rich blend of red, brown, and subtle earthy tones with natural variation throughout. This multi-tonal mix creates depth and movement across completed brickwork while remaining balanced and cohesive.

This facing brick has a lightly textured surface that enhances its traditional character without appearing overly rustic. Because of the colour variation and surface detail, larger elevations avoid looking uniform or flat. Instead, brickwork feels visually layered and settled, which helps new construction blend comfortably with period properties and heritage-style surroundings.

In residential construction, this Imperial Bricks facing brick suits a wide range of external wall applications. It is commonly specified for traditional new build homes, extensions, and renovation projects where consistency is required alongside an authentic imperial appearance. Its taller 68mm height supports traditional coursing proportions, making it particularly effective in conservation-influenced settings.

The blended colouring of this brick allows flexibility when selecting mortar colours. Lighter mortars can soften the overall façade and highlight the variation within the blend, while darker mortars help define joints and add contrast. This adaptability allows designers and homeowners to tailor the finished look to suit both rural and suburban environments.

This brick also works well alongside complementary materials such as natural stone, timber detailing, and traditional roof tiles. Its warm tones and varied finish help create façades that feel timeless and well established rather than newly built or overly refined.
