You’ll see relief and ruggedness in the brick surface, which helps break up light reflections and gives walls a more tactile, crafted feel. It may show mortar joints more visibly due to the shadows. \u003ch4\u003eDoes the higher water absorption (17 %) pose risks of damp or moisture problems?\u003c\/h4\u003e A water absorption of **17 %** is above many common facing bricks but still within specification for this product. The key is **installation** — with good cavity design, flashing, weep holes, damp proof course, and correct mortar, moisture ingress can be effectively managed.\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":51448206688598,"sku":"161720","price":529.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/forterra-burghley-red-rustic-facing-brick-pack-of-495-5943923.jpg?v=1772657178","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/forterra-burghley-red-rustic-facing-brick-pack-of-495","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
