Kingston (65mm)

The Kingston 65mm Brick by Brickability is a contemporary facing brick designed to create clean, refined external walls with a balanced and modern appearance. Manufactured from high-quality clay, it features a neutral mid-grey tone with subtle variation. This restrained colouring allows brickwork to feel architectural and composed without appearing stark or flat.

This facing brick has a smooth to lightly textured surface that supports crisp and consistent brickwork. Because of its controlled colour variation, walls built with this brick maintain visual interest while remaining cohesive across larger elevations. Developers and designers often select this brick for modern residential schemes where simplicity and consistency are important.

In addition to its visual qualities, this Brickability facing brick performs reliably in external wall construction. It supports long-term use in typical UK weather conditions and offers dependable performance over time. Builders frequently specify this brick for new build homes, extensions, and refurbishment projects where durability must complement a contemporary finish.

The neutral grey tone of this brick provides excellent flexibility when selecting mortar colours. Lighter mortars can create a seamless and minimalist look, while darker mortars introduce contrast and help define brick joints. This flexibility makes the brick suitable for a wide range of architectural styles, including mixed-material façades that combine brick with timber, metal, or render.

This brick also works well in both urban and suburban settings. Its understated appearance allows it to sit comfortably alongside stronger architectural elements while still contributing texture and depth to the overall façade.
