Used with proper detailing (cavity, flashing, drainage), it will retain its performance and appearance over time. \u003ch4\u003eHow much variation should I expect in the blending tones?\u003c\/h4\u003e This is a blend brick, so subtle variation is part of its appeal. You’ll see gentle shifts in buff, beige, and gault tones across bricks. To achieve a balanced, harmonious result, it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** while laying. \u003ch4\u003eDoes the 13 % water absorption present risks of damp or moisture ingress?\u003c\/h4\u003e A water absorption of **? 13 %** is standard for facing bricks. Moisture performance depends more on correct installation — cavity width, weep holes, flashing, and mortar selection matter more than just absorption. If installed properly, this brick offers long-term resistance to damp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck out our full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/building-supplies\"\u003ebuilding supplies\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/bricks-blocks\"\u003ebricks \u0026amp; blocks\u003c\/a\u003e available online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forterra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51448206623062,"sku":"161719","price":614.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/forterra-belgravia-gault-blend-facing-brick-pack-of-495-6194025.jpg?v=1772657179","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/forterra-belgravia-gault-blend-facing-brick-pack-of-495","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
