Some variation is expected and intentional. To achieve balance, mix bricks from multiple packs as you lay them, and blend tones across the elevation to avoid visible banding.
Is ? 15 % water absorption acceptable for external masonry?
Yes — it’s within a typical acceptable range for facing bricks. That said, durability over time depends heavily on correct detailing: effective cavity design, damp proof courses, flashings, and moisture control are crucial.
Can this brick be used structurally / in loadbearing walls?
Yes. With a compressive strength of 13 N/mm², it is suitable for many masonry applications. For heavier structural or heavily loaded designs, always verify your structural calculations, mortar class, support details, and compliance with relevant building regulations.
