Frequently Asked Questions

Is New Cavendish Stock suitable for exposed or coastal locations?

Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, it’s suitable for external use, including frost resistance. In harsher environments, ensure proper detailing such as flashing, drainage, cavity design, and mortar selection.

Will the colour be consistent across the wall?

As a **multi-tone brick**, natural colour variation is expected and adds character. To avoid banding or clustering, it’s best to **mix bricks from several packs** when laying.

Does a 13 % water absorption rate make it prone to damp?

A **13 % absorption** is moderate and suitable for facing bricks. Long-term performance depends more on correct construction practices — such as cavities, drainage, flashing, and mortar choice — than on absorption alone.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
