Why Choose Oatmeal Blend?
Oatmeal Blend stands out in its class by merging a calm, neutral palette with surface texture that prevents monotony. The buff-cream tones provide a lovely backdrop that works well alongside both bold and understated architectural features. The light texture helps the surface play with light and shadow, bringing a gentle dynamism to façades.
Performance-wise, it holds up well. With a compressive strength of 40 N/mm² and an F2 durability rating, it’s suited for typical UK external wall exposure. The ? 10 % water absorption helps mitigate moisture ingress when paired with solid detailing — such as good cavity design, effective damp proof courses, and properly installed flashings. Coupled with its fire class A1 and soluble salts rating, it meets contemporary safety and durability expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How uniform will the colour appear across a build?
There will be subtle variation in tone between bricks—especially in multi or blended shades. Mixing bricks from multiple packs as you lay helps ensure a balanced overall look rather than visible banding.
Is 10 % water absorption low enough for external conditions?
Yes — ? 10 % is considered a favorable level for facing bricks. However, the brick must be installed with careful detailing (cavities, DPCs, flashings) to maintain long-term resilience against moisture.
Can Oatmeal Blend be used for loadbearing walls?
Yes. With a compressive strength of ? 40 N/mm², it has good structural capacity for many masonry designs. Though as always, check the full structural design (loads, mortar grades, supporting elements, and local regulations) before using it in heavily loaded applications.
