Frequently Asked Questions

Is Brecken Grey suitable for exposed or coastal locations?

With an **F1 durability rating**, Brecken Grey is engineered for general external use. In highly exposed or coastal sites, you’ll want to pay extra attention to detailing (cavity width, flashings, drainage) to enhance its resilience.

Will the grey tone vary between packs?

Subtle variation is part of its appeal. You may see gentle shifts in grey and buff shades. To avoid visible “patchiness,” it’s best practice to **mix bricks from several packs** while laying.

Does a 23 % water absorption increase the risk of damp over time?

A **? 23 %** absorption is relatively high, but acceptable for this product specification. The key to long-term performance lies in correct installation — robust cavity detailing, flashing, weep holes, and quality mortar will do more to mitigate moisture risk than the absorption figure alone.
