Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sherwood Blaze suitable for coastal or exposed locations?

Yes — its **F2 durability rating** means it’s designed for external use including frost cycles and exposure. In coastal or highly exposed sites, good detailing (cavity design, flashings, weep holes, mortar choice) becomes vital to ensure long-term performance.

Will the red colour remain consistent across a wall?

While the brick is manufactured to maintain a strong red tone, natural clay firing may introduce slight variation. To avoid clustering of similar shades or visible “colour bands,” it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** when laying.

Does 16 % absorption pose a damp risk over time?

A water absorption of **16 %** is relatively high. Because of this, quality wall detailing is crucial — correct cavity spacing, drainage, flashing, and using compatible mortar will play a greater role in resisting moisture ingress than absorption alone.
