FAQs

Is a water absorption of ? 10% suitable for external walls?

Yes — ? 10% is within the ideal range for facing bricks. When combined with proper detailing, it ensures reliable long-term performance.

What does the F2 durability rating mean?

It means the brick is frost-resistant and suitable for typical UK external exposure. For harsher conditions, such as coastal zones or heavy freeze-thaw cycles, higher-rated durability bricks may be more appropriate.

Will the yellow colour vary between packs?

Yes — natural shade variation is expected in clay bricks, especially lighter tones. Mixing bricks from several packs during laying helps achieve a more uniform finish.
