Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ivanhoe Cream Original suitable for exposed or coastal environments?

Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, it’s appropriate for external use in most exposures. In harsher or coastal areas, robust detailing (cavity design, flashing, drainage, matching mortar) is key to long-term performance.

Will the cream tone be consistent across the wall?

While the brick is designed to be uniform in appearance, natural clay variation is always possible. To prevent visual banding or clustering of similar shades, it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation.

Does a 25 % absorption rate increase the risk of damp?

A **25 % water absorption** is relatively high for facing bricks, meaning it can take in more moisture than some lower-absorption types. Because of this, careful wall design—good cavity detailing, effective flashing, drainage, and mortar compatibility—is essential to prevent moisture penetration over time.
