Description & Usage Notes
The Olde Autumn Antique is manufactured at Warnham using a hand-moulding process that produces a distinctive creased texture and subtle surface variation. Its red and multi tones bring depth and warmth, making it suitable for traditional façades and sympathetic restorations.
With water absorption ? 15% and compressive strength ? 13 N/mm², it is designed for facing applications rather than heavy structural use. Its F2 durability rating ensures frost resistance under standard UK exposure conditions. Correct construction detailing — cavity design, flashing, drainage, and mortar selection — is essential for long-term durability.
Always blend bricks from multiple packs during laying to minimise visible banding. Building a sample panel before ordering in bulk is recommended to confirm tone and texture.
