Why Choose Clent Russet Mixture?
Clent Russet Mixture offers a warm, variegated aesthetic. The russet-red blend ensures variation and richness, while the rusticated wirecut texture gives surface interest without overwhelming detail. The balance between character and restraint makes it suitable for both feature walls and full elevations.
On the technical side, it stands up well. With a compressive strength of 28 N/mm² and F1 durability, it’s appropriate for many external walling conditions. The ? 20 % water absorption is moderate, so careful detailing (good cavity design, damp proof courses, flashings) is important for long-term performance. The extruded, perforated design reduces weight while maintaining strength; its thermal, fire, and salts ratings align with modern regulatory expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How variable will the colour tones be?
Some variation is part of its “mixture” design. To maintain visual harmony, it’s best to mix bricks from multiple packs during laying and avoid clustering similar tones together.
Is 20 % water absorption safe for external masonry?
Yes — it is within acceptable limits for many facing bricks. However, durability over time depends heavily on correct detailing, such as well-vented cavities, effective damp proofing, and precise flashings.
Can this brick be used structurally or in loadbearing walls?
Yes, with 28 N/mm² compressive strength, it is capable of handling many masonry and structural applications. For heavier load scenarios, always verify your structural design, mortar grade, support details, and compliance with building regulations.
