Manufactured to demanding standards (BS EN 771-1), this brick is offered in multiple textures: smooth, light textured (indented or printed finish), heavy textured (for a more rustic look), and tumbled (for a reclaimed feel). The standard sandfaced (wirecut) finish offers a balance between clean detail and gentle surface relief. Under the surface, it’s built to perform. Yorkshire Red Blend holds a durability rating of F2, a water absorption of 7 %, and a high compressive strength. It’s made in the standard 65 mm height and configured with vertical perforations (15–25 % voids) to reduce weight and improve thermal performance. When built with proper detailing (cavity, flashing, weep holes, quality mortar), it provides resilience and aesthetic appeal under UK external conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which texture option should I choose?

It depends on your design intent. **Smooth** gives a clean, modern look; **light textured** adds subtle relief; **heavy textured** gives stronger shadow play; **tumbled** gives a weathered, reclaimed feel. All textures use the same base brick — performance is consistent.

How much variation will there be in colour across a wall?

Because this is a **blend brick**, variation is part of its character. You’ll see shifts among reds, buffs, and occasional accent tones. To avoid visible banding, it’s best practice to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during laying to spread variation evenly.

Does 7 % water absorption provide good moisture resistance?

Yes — a **? 7 % absorption** is low for a facing brick, which helps reduce moisture uptake. But the main defense against damp is quality installation: correct cavities, good flashing, adequate weep holes, and matching mortar are more critical than absorption alone.
