Description
The Ibstock Dorket Balmoral Brick is a premium extruded, wire-cut facing brick that combines precise engineering with a softly weathered appearance. Each unit measures 215 × 102.5 × 65 mm—slipping effortlessly into stretcher, Flemish or English bond patterns—and is produced at Ibstock’s Dorket Head works. Its warm red-multi colour is enlivened by a light, sand-faced texture that catches daylight to cast gentle shadows and highlights, lending façades a subtly rustic, handcrafted quality.
Internally, this brick is vertically perforated to reduce dry weight for easier handling on site and to improve thermal efficiency within the wall. Those same cores provide an excellent mechanical key for mortar, speeding up laying rates and ensuring strong, uniform joints. Supplied in packs of 475, the Dorket Balmoral offers low water absorption, full frost resistance and a high compressive strength—qualities that guarantee lasting durability in exposed UK conditions while maturing gracefully over time.
