Description & Usage Notes

Being handmade (soft-mud / stock style), this brick carries the subtle irregularities and charm associated with traditional construction methods. The frogged format may reduce mortar usage and improve bonding. With its F2 durability rating, it is frost-resistant under typical UK external conditions. The 13% absorption is moderate, so correct detailing—such as cavity design, flashing, and effective drainage—is critical for long-term performance. When laying, always mix bricks from multiple packs to reduce visible colour transitions or banding. Before purchasing a large order, viewing a physical sample or requesting detailed images is recommended so you can confirm the tone, texture, and finish.

FAQs

Is 13% water absorption too high?

No. For a handmade / stock brick, 13% is within a reasonable range. With proper wall design and moisture control, it works well in external walls.

What does the F2 durability rating mean?

It means the brick is frost-resistant and suitable for standard external exposure conditions. In more aggressive or coastal environments, you might consider a brick with a higher durability rating.

Will the colour vary between packs?

Yes. Variation is natural in handmade clay bricks. To reduce noticeable shifts in tone or texture, mix bricks from at least three different packs during installation.
