Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tudor London suitable for coastal or highly exposed locations?

Yes — as a facing brick with an **F1 durability rating**, it’s rated for external use. In more challenging environments (coastal, high wind, salt spray), extra care with detailing (flashing, drainage, cavity design) is needed to protect the wall over time.

How variable is the red / red-multi tone across bricks?

Variation is part of its character. You’ll see shifts between deeper and lighter reds. To avoid clustering of similar colours, it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation for a more balanced and natural façade.

Does the 23 % water absorption raise concerns about moisture or damp over time?

While **? 23 % absorption** is moderate, it is within specification for this product. The wall’s ability to resist moisture is more influenced by the quality of the installation — correct cavity detailing, flashing, weep holes, and mortar choice matter more than absorption alone.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:
