Frequently Asked Questions

Is Windsor London suitable for highly exposed or coastal areas?

Yes — with an **F1 durability rating**, it’s suitable for many external applications. In more challenging or coastal environments, careful detailing (robust flashing, proper cavity, quality mortar) is especially important to maintain the wall’s integrity over time.

Will the red tone vary noticeably across the bricks?

Some variation in red tones is natural and expected, due to the clay material and firing process. To avoid visible “clumping” of similar shades, it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation.

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

While **? 23 %** absorption is moderate, the brick’s long-term resistance to moisture depends mainly on the quality of installation. Proper cavity detailing, effective flashing, weep holes, and suitable mortar are much more influential in preventing damp than absorption alone.
