Why Choose Durham Claret Stock?

Durham Claret Stock brings together a classic red hue with subtle variation. The “multi” colouring ensures your wall has depth and nuance rather than flat uniformity. The light texture softens the finish, contributing to a façade that feels tactile and dignified. From a structural perspective, its compressive strength of at least 20 N/mm² makes it suitable for many external walling uses. The F2 durability rating indicates reliable performance in exposed settings. Water absorption at ? 14 % is moderate, so good detailing—cavity design, damp proof courses, flashings—is essential. Its thermal conductivity, fire rating, and salts classification further help it conform to contemporary construction requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the multi tones create inconsistency across a wall?

Some variation is expected and desirable. To maintain a balanced appearance, mix bricks from multiple packs while laying and avoid grouping similar tones together.

Is 14 % water absorption acceptable for UK external use?

Yes — it’s within acceptable limits for facing bricks. When combined with sound detailing (cavities, DPCs, flashings), it can perform reliably in UK climates.

Can this brick be used for loadbearing or structural walls?

Yes. With its compressive strength of ? 20 N/mm², it is suitable for many masonry applications. However, always verify your design loads, mortar class, support details, and local building regulations for your specific project.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:
