Frequently Asked Questions

Is Brunswick Antique Red suitable for exposed or coastal sites?

Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, this brick is rated for external facing use including in frost-prone or more exposed zones. In harsher environments, robust detailing (adequate cavity width, high-quality flashing, weep holes, durable mortar) will help maintain performance over time.

How much variety will I see in the red tone?

The brick is a multi-tone product, so you’ll see nuanced shifts in red and accent tones across the wall surface. To avoid clustering of similar shades (colour banding), it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation to distribute variation evenly.

Is a 10 % absorption rate adequate for moisture protection?

Yes — a **? 10 % absorption** is a strong specification for a facing brick, helping resist moisture uptake. However, the wall’s long-term resistance to damp depends more on proper construction: correct cavity detailing, effective flashing, drainage, and using the right mortar are more critical than absorption alone.
