Frequently Asked Questions

Will this brick perform well in exposed or coastal conditions?

Yes — though it has an **F1 durability rating**, when detailed correctly (cavity, flashing, drainage, good mortar) it can perform suitably even on more exposed sites. In very harsh or coastal areas, extra care with detailing is advisable.

How strong is the variation in colour and texture?

The “Rustic” finish brings visible surface relief and the multi-shade red colour introduces subtle variation. To avoid clustering of similar tones (colour banding), it’s best to mix bricks from multiple packs while laying.

Does a 13 % water absorption rate pose a risk of damp over time?

A **≤ 13 % absorption** is reasonable for a facing brick. The key to long-term moisture control is excellent detailing — proper cavities, flashing, weep holes, and matching mortar matter more than the absorption figure alone.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
