Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ivanhoe Westminster suitable for exposed or coastal locations?
Yes — with an **F2 durability rating**, it’s suitable for external exposure. In harsher environments like coastal zones, ensure detailing such as cavity design, flashings, drainage, and quality mortar are properly executed to maximise lifespan.
How consistent will the buff / cream tone be across the wall?
This brick is produced to a uniform colour, but natural clay variation may cause subtle shifts. To avoid noticeable clustering or banding, it’s recommended to **blend bricks from multiple packs** during installation.
Does a 25 % water absorption increase damp risk?
A **25 % absorption** is relatively high for a facing brick. While it doesn’t make the brick unsuitable, it does mean that good detailing is essential—proper cavity spacing, reliable flashing, drainage, and compatible mortar help prevent moisture issues over time.
