Frequently Asked Questions

Is Leicester Weathered Red suitable for exposed or coastal locations?

Yes — with **F2 durability**, it’s appropriate for external exposure including frost. In more demanding environments, good detailing (cavities, flashing, drainage, mortar choice) is essential to protect the wall.

How strong is the “weathered” effect across the wall?

You’ll see natural variation in tone and finish, giving the façades depth and character. To avoid clustering or visible banding, it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during laying.

Does 19 % water absorption increase damp risk over time?

A **19 % absorption** is moderate. The real safeguard against moisture is quality construction—cavity detail, flashing, drainage, and correct mortar choice are much more important than absorption alone.
