Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of settings is Bradgate Golden Purple best for?

This brick works well in both traditional and contemporary designs—especially where a statement façade is desired. The multi-tone effect and strong texture suit feature walls, entire elevations, or matching older brickwork with character.

How variable are the tones in this “multi” brick?

Because it’s designed as a multi-blend product, you can expect significant tonal variation (buff, purple, golden hues). To ensure a balanced look, it’s best to **mix bricks from several packs** during installation so the variance spreads evenly across the wall.

Does having 20 % water absorption affect its long-term performance?

A **? 20 % absorption** is relatively high for a facing brick. That means proper detailing is essential — adequate cavity design, flashing, weep holes, and high-quality mortar all play a major role in preventing moisture issues and ensuring long-term durability.
