Why Choose Falstaff Red Antique?
Falstaff Red Antique offers a distinctive blend of tones—warm reds, subtle browns, and soft greys—that creates walls rich in depth, avoiding the flat look of monochrome bricks. The light texture adds just enough surface interest without overwhelming the overall form.
From a performance standpoint, it’s robust. With a compressive strength of 40 N/mm² and F2 durability, it’s suitable for typical exterior walling conditions. A water absorption rate of 12 % is moderate and manageable, provided proper detailing (cavoiy design, DPCs, flashings) is in place. Its salt classification (S2) and traditional stock construction also lend confidence in consistency and longevity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the mottled red tones create patchiness?
Some variation is intentional and part of the brick’s character. To maintain balance, mix bricks from several packs during installation and spread tones evenly across the elevation.
Is 12 % water absorption safe for external use?
Yes — 12 % is within acceptable limits for facing bricks. With proper detailing (cavities, DPCs, flashings, moisture control), the brick can perform reliably in UK conditions.
Can this brick be used structurally / in loadbearing walls?
Yes. With a compressive strength of 40 N/mm², this brick offers good structural capacity. However, always check load requirements, mortar grade, and compliance with building regulations for your specific application.
