Built to withstand UK weather conditions, it offers durability, frost resistance, and structural strength.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Leicester Weathered Multi suitable for coastal or exposed sites?
Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, it is suitable for external exposure and frost resistance. In coastal or harsher areas, ensure correct detailing (flashings, drainage, cavity design, and mortar) to maximise longevity.
Will I see much colour variation across the wall?
Yes — as a **multi-tone brick**, natural variation is intentional. Expect shifts in red and accent tones. To prevent colour banding or clustering, it’s best to **mix bricks from several packs** during laying.
Does a 19 % absorption rate increase the risk of damp?
A **19 % absorption** is moderate. While not particularly low, it is suitable for facing bricks when good construction practice is followed. Proper cavity detailing, drainage, flashing, and mortar selection are more important factors in preventing moisture issues.
