Frequently Asked Questions
Is Marlborough Stock suitable for exposed or coastal areas?
Yes — its **F2 durability** means it’s frost resistant and suitable for external use. In harsher environments, correct detailing (cavity design, flashing, drainage, and mortar choice) is essential.
How consistent is the colour across different packs?
The Marlborough Stock is designed for a uniform red finish, though slight tonal differences may occur due to natural clay firing. Mixing bricks from multiple packs ensures an even appearance.
Does 13 % absorption make it prone to damp issues?
A **13 % absorption** is moderate. With proper construction practices — such as cavity walls, effective drainage, flashing, and mortar compatibility — damp risk is minimal.
