The Hastings Medium Red brick is defined by its balanced red tone, sitting between lighter and deeper shades within our Hastings range.
*Example image above demonstrates a Hastings Medium Red blend.
Formed using natural brick earth, it features a sanded finish with light creasing, creating a consistent yet naturally varied appearance suited to both standalone use and subtle blending.
Its mid-range colour makes it particularly adaptable, offering warmth without dominance and supporting both heritage restoration and high-quality new build projects.
