Its subtle tonal variation avoids a flat, uniform look, so façades feel warm and alive as light changes throughout the day. The sandfaced surface introduces fine, tactile relief that helps mortar joints recede, creating a balanced, authentic appearance across large elevations or feature panels. Whether you’re matching existing masonry, extending a period home, or specifying a new build that needs timeless street appeal, New Sandhurst strikes a smart balance of aesthetics and performance. Designed for UK exposure, it offers dependable frost resistance and steady, real-world durability when detailed correctly—so your brickwork looks great on day one and continues to perform for years.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e215 × 102 × 65 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003eRed \/ Multi blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003esandfaced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e13 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eIs it suitable for exposed or coastal locations?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — its **F2** rating means it’s appropriate for external exposure.
