Description & Usage Notes

Manufactured by a wirecut (extruded) process, this brick gives crisp edges and consistent sizing. Its buff multi tones allow flexibility across many architectural styles. Its F2 rating ensures frost resistance in typical UK conditions. With 9% water absorption, proper detailing (e.g. cavity design, flashing, drainage, correct mortar) is essential to ensure longevity. To reduce visible banding, always blend bricks from multiple packs during laying. Requesting a sample or extra high-resolution images before ordering in bulk is also advised, especially for colour matching jobs.

FAQs

Is 9% water absorption good enough for external walls?

Yes — 9% absorption is solid for many quality facing bricks. When combined with good detailing and moisture control, it performs reliably in external applications.

What does the F2 durability classification mean?

F2 means frost resistance suitable for general external exposure across the UK. In more aggressive conditions (e.g. coastal areas or heavy freeze-thaw zones), a higher durability grade might be preferred.

Will the brick’s shade vary between packs?

Yes. Variation in colour and texture is natural in clay bricks. Mixing bricks from at least three different packs during installation helps produce a more uniform visual finish.
