Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bexhill Purple Multi suitable for exposed or coastal sites?
Yes — its **F2 durability rating** makes it fit for external use in exposed conditions. In harsher or coastal areas, ensure robust detailing (good flashing, cavity design, drainage, quality mortar) to protect the wall over time.
How much variation should I expect in the purple multi finish?
Because it’s a **multi-tone brick**, you’ll see a mix of reds, russets, and subtle purple shades. To avoid clustering of similar tones (colour banding), it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** while laying.
Does the 15 % absorption increase the risk of damp?
A **? 15 % absorption** value is within acceptable limits for facing bricks. The wall’s long-term moisture resistance depends more on proper detailing — cavities, flashings, weep holes, and compatible mortar — than on absorption alone.
