Clifton

Description

Clifton is the cleaner, smoother counterpart to Clapton in Ibstock’s urban dark trio — a blue-black wirecut brick attributed to the Aldridge plant. Made from blue clay and extruded to a flat, low-texture face, it’s engineered for contemporary residential and commercial elevations where the design wants dark tone without surface noise.

The same face reads as near-black at street level and picks up reflected light on larger elevations, which is why it’s a favourite for urban infill. Specified alongside Clapton it gives a clear texture contrast within the same colour family. Full technical data is on the EBM datasheet, and our UK team can pull samples or price up a full load.
