Natural Variation Information
Ibstock rustic red bricks are made using naturally occurring materials, meaning the colour and texture will differ due to the location that the materials are sourced from. This needs to be considered if you are using the product for decorative purposes or for exterior walls, and it is recommended to buy at least 3 packs to achieve the right balance of colour and to avoid colour banding.
Installation and Aftercare
Bricklaying is not something that is generally considered a DIY project. It requires skill, experience and knowledge, and it is not something that we recommend undertaking unless you have all of these. Experts say that you should not try building a brick wall over 1.2 metres (4 feet) high unless you are an experienced bricklayer.

How do you age bricks quickly?
If you want your new wall or other project to look a bit more distressed and rustic, you can age your new bricks. The two most popular methods are a German smear (a mortar wash where wet mortar is applied to the bricks and then partially removed before it dries) or whitewashing (using undiluted latex paint to give a more uniform appearance).
How long does it take to make a brick?
The process of making bricks can be a long and complicated one, but the basics include the crushing and grinding of raw materials, the forming of the brick, and the moulding or pressing of the brick. Once the brick is ready and in shape, bricks are then fired in a kiln between 10 – 40 hours.
How many bags of cement do I need to lay 1000 bricks?
Firstly, you will need to consider the size of the brick and the size of the bags of cement before working out how many bags are required. If you are using standard bricks and 25kg bags of cement, then on average you should be okay with 6 bags of cement. Remember that you will also need to work out how much sand and the thickness of mortar required as well.
