In harsher or coastal areas, ensure robust detailing (good flashing, cavity design, drainage, quality mortar) to protect the wall over time. \u003ch4\u003eHow much variation should I expect in the purple multi finish?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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. \u003ch4\u003eDoes the 15 % absorption increase the risk of damp?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck out our full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/building-supplies\"\u003ebuilding supplies\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/bricks-blocks\"\u003ebricks \u0026amp; blocks\u003c\/a\u003e available online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ibstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51448212816214,"sku":"161797","price":768.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/ibstock-bexhill-purple-multi-facing-brick-pack-of-500-2851676.jpg?v=1772657071","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/ibstock-bexhill-purple-multi-facing-brick-pack-of-500","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
