Description & Usage Notes
Manufactured using the wirecut (extruded) process, this brick delivers precise sizing, sharp edges, and a uniform appearance. Its red / multi tone offers visual variety while maintaining a neat, professional finish.
With its F2 frost resistance and low 9% water absorption, this brick performs strongly in standard UK exposure conditions. Proper detailing — including cavity wall design, effective drainage, flashings, and suitable mortar — is recommended to ensure long-term performance.
To avoid colour banding, always blend bricks from at least three different packs during installation. Viewing a sample or requesting high-quality images before placing a large order is also advisable to confirm the final appearance.
FAQs
Is 9% water absorption good for external walls?
Yes — 9% is a low figure for a facing brick and supports reliable long-term performance when paired with correct wall detailing.
What does the F2 durability rating mean?
It means the brick is frost-resistant and suitable for typical UK exposure conditions. For harsher environments such as coastal areas or severe freeze-thaw zones, a higher durability brick may be preferred.
Will the colour vary between packs?
Yes — natural colour variation is expected in clay bricks. Mixing bricks from multiple packs helps achieve a consistent overall finish.
