Frequently Asked Questions

Is Crowborough Multi suitable for exposed or coastal settings?

Yes — with an **F2 durability rating**, this brick is designed for external exposure, including sites subject to freeze–thaw cycles. In more aggressive climates or coastal locations, using robust detailing like effective cavity design, quality flashing, suitable mortar, and proper drainage is especially important to maintain longevity.

How much variation should I expect across bricks?

Because it’s a **multi-tone brick**, you’ll see variation in red, buff, and accent shades. That’s part of the aesthetic. To avoid clustering of similar hues or visible banding, it’s best practice to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during laying so variation is spread naturally across the façade.

Does 15 % water absorption pose moisture or damp risks over time?

A **? 15 % absorption** is typical for many facing bricks. The true safeguard against moisture is construction detail: good cavity width, flashings, weep holes, and correct mortar are more critical in preventing damp than absorption alone.
