Its rustic, timeworn appearance makes it ideal for heritage builds, restorations, and projects where traditional character is required. As with all clay bricks, natural shade variation is expected, so blending bricks from at least three packs during installation is recommended for a consistent façade.\n\nThis brick combines authentic style with dependable performance, offering frost resistance, moderate compressive strength, and controlled absorption for external facing applications under UK conditions.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e215mm × 102.5mm × 65mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003eRed \/ Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003eHand-Moulded Stock, Creased Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e? 15%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompressive Strength:\u003c\/b\u003e? 13 N\/mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/b\u003e500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGross Dry Density:\u003c\/b\u003e1630 kg\/m³\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThermal Conductivity:\u003c\/b\u003e0.600 W\/(m·K)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInitial Rate of Water Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e0.7 – 3.0 kg\/(m²·min)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eActive Soluble Salts:\u003c\/b\u003eS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReaction to Fire:\u003c\/b\u003eClass A1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize Tolerance:\u003c\/b\u003eT1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRange Tolerance:\u003c\/b\u003eR1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDescription \u0026amp; Usage Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e Manufactured at the Warnham plant using a traditional hand-moulding process, the Olde Horsham features a creased face and rich red\/multi tones for a heritage look. With water absorption ? 15% and compressive strength ? 13 N\/mm², it is suitable for facing use rather than heavy structural work.\n\nThe F2 durability rating ensures frost resistance under normal UK exposure conditions. Long-term performance requires correct construction detailing — cavity wall design, drainage, flashings, and compatible mortar. To reduce visual banding, always blend bricks from multiple packs and consider a sample panel before committing to large orders.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eIs ? 15% water absorption suitable for external walls?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — this level is typical for hand-moulded stock bricks and performs reliably when correct wall detailing is applied. \u003ch4\u003eWhat does the F2 durability rating mean?\u003c\/h4\u003e It means the brick is frost-resistant and suitable for normal UK external exposure conditions. \u003ch4\u003eWill the red\/multi tones vary between packs?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — shade variation is natural with clay bricks. Mixing bricks from at least three packs helps achieve a consistent appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck out our full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/building-supplies\"\u003ebuilding supplies\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/bricks-blocks\"\u003ebricks \u0026amp; blocks\u003c\/a\u003e available online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weinerberger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51448310366550,"sku":"162011","price":617.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/wienerberger-olde-horsham-facing-brick-pack-of-500-5605820.jpg?v=1772656762","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/wienerberger-olde-horsham-facing-brick-pack-of-500","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
