In harsher or coastal environments, ensure high-quality detailing (correct cavity, flashing, drainage, and mortar) to protect the wall over time. \u003ch4\u003eWill there be noticeable variation in the grey tone across the wall?\u003c\/h4\u003e Some variation is expected with stock bricks. To avoid visible banding or clustering of similar shades, it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation. \u003ch4\u003eDoes a 22 % absorption rate pose a damp risk?\u003c\/h4\u003e A **22 % water absorption** is relatively high. Because of this, careful wall construction is even more essential—good cavity detailing, effective flashing, drainage, and matching mortar are key to minimizing moisture ingress and ensuring long-term durability.\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":51448219697494,"sku":"161853","price":640.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/ibstock-bradgate-medium-grey-facing-brick-pack-of-430-1879841.jpg?v=1772656943","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/ibstock-bradgate-medium-grey-facing-brick-pack-of-430","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
