Why Choose Sheerwater Silver Yellow Stock?
Sheerwater Silver Yellow stands out with its gentle, light yellow tones accented by subtle silver hues—ideal for façades seeking a crisp yet warm character. The flat, sanded texture keeps the surface refined while adding enough variation to avoid monotony.
Technically speaking, it offers a strong balance of performance. A compressive strength of 30 N/mm² makes it suitable for external walling, including mildly loadbearing uses, while its ? 20 % water absorption places it in the moderate range. Its F2 durability classification ensures it can endure typical UK exposures. The low thermal conductivity helps in energy-sensitive designs, and the Class A1 fire rating and S2 salts classification align with modern building standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the silver-yellow tone appear uniform across a wall?
There will be natural variation—especially with “multi” or blended bricks. To achieve visual harmony, mix bricks from multiple packs during installation and avoid stacking packs by tone.
Is ? 20 % water absorption acceptable for exterior use?
Yes—20 % is within acceptable limits for many facing bricks, though on the higher side. Good detailing (proper cavity design, damp proof courses, flashing) is essential to ensure long-term performance.
Can this brick be used for structural or loadbearing walls?
Yes—it has a compressive strength of ? 30 N/mm², giving it credible loadbearing capacity in many scenarios. However, for heavy structural applications, always verify with your structural design, mortar selection, and applicable building regulations
