Frequently Asked Questions

Is Milton Buff London suitable for coastal or exposed settings?

Yes — with its **F1 durability rating**, it’s designed for external use in general exposure. In more challenging conditions (coastal, high wind, heavy rain), ensuring solid detailing such as good flashing, cavity design, drainage, and suitable mortar will be key to its long-term performance.

How much variation in buff tone should I expect?

Some variation is part of the brick’s character. You may notice subtle shifts in buff or cream hues. To avoid clustering of similar tones, it’s best practice to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during the laying process.

Does the 23 % water absorption make it more prone to damp over time?

A water absorption of **? 23 %** is moderately high, but within specification for this product. The longevity and moisture resistance of the wall depend more on proper installation—including cavity design, flashing, weep holes, and appropriate mortar—than absorption alone.
