In harsher environments, ensure proper detailing such as flashing, drainage, cavity design, and mortar selection. \u003ch4\u003eWill the colour be consistent across the wall?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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. \u003ch4\u003eDoes a 13 % water absorption rate make it prone to damp? \u003c\/h4\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck out our full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/building-supplies\"\u003ebuilding supplies\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/bricks-blocks\"\u003ebricks \u0026amp; blocks\u003c\/a\u003e available online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ibstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51448229626198,"sku":"161866","price":751.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/ibstock-new-cavendish-stock-facing-brick-pack-of-500-2283404.jpg?v=1772656941","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/ibstock-new-cavendish-stock-facing-brick-pack-of-500","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
