Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 73 mm version different from the standard 65 mm in performance?

No major difference in material performance. The 73 mm gives you extra depth, which can help match thicker walls or bonding patterns — the same brick chemistry and durability apply.

Does 12 % water absorption pose a risk of moisture problems?

A **? 12 % absorption** is reasonable for a facing brick. The main protection comes from how well the wall is detailed — proper cavity, flashing, drainage, and mortar are more critical than absorption alone.

Can this brick be used in coastal or exposed sites?

Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, it’s designed for external exposed use. In harsher environments, ensure robust detailing (cavity, flashing, weep holes) to safeguard against weathering.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:
