Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cavendish Dorket Honeygold suitable for exposed or coastal settings?
Yes — with **F2 durability**, it’s designed for external exposure. In more aggressive environments, good detailing (cavities, flashing, weep holes, quality mortar) is essential to protect the brickwork over time.
How variable is the honey / buff tone across bricks?
Because it's a **multi-tone brick**, you’ll see gentle shifts in buff / honey shades and accent tones. To avoid clustering of similar hues (colour banding), it’s best to **mix bricks from several packs** during laying, distributing variation evenly.
Does a 12 % absorption risk damp issues over time?
No — **? 12 % absorption** is moderate and acceptable for facing bricks. Effective moisture resistance depends much more on correct cavity design, flashing, drainage, and appropriate mortar than on absorption alone.
