Reclamation Cambridge Buff (65mm)

The Reclamation Cambridge Buff 65mm Brick by Imperial Bricks is a traditional facing brick designed to replicate the appearance of reclaimed London and Cambridgeshire stock brickwork. Manufactured to achieve an aged and characterful look, it features a soft buff base colour with subtle variations in tone that create depth and authenticity across completed brickwork.

This facing brick has a lightly weathered appearance that reflects the charm of reclaimed materials while offering the consistency and reliability of a modern manufactured brick. Because of the tonal variation and surface character, walls built with this brick avoid looking flat or uniform. Instead, elevations feel established and visually rich, making this brick particularly popular for heritage-inspired projects.

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 new brickwork needs to blend seamlessly with existing buildings. Its reclaimed-style finish makes it especially effective in conservation-influenced settings and period-style developments.

The buff colouring of this brick provides flexibility when choosing mortar colours. Lighter mortars can enhance the softness of the façade, while slightly darker mortars help define joints and emphasise the aged character of the brick. This versatility allows designers and homeowners to fine-tune the finished appearance to suit both rural and suburban environments.

This brick also pairs well with complementary materials such as natural stone, timber features, and traditional roof tiles. Its understated colouring and weathered appearance help create balanced façades that feel timeless rather than trend-led, making it a dependable choice for long-term residential projects.
