Why Choose Smeed Dean London Stock?
Smeed Dean London Stock offers a timeless aesthetic that’s deeply rooted in London’s architectural heritage. Its yellow / buff multi tones and soft texture lend a warm, classic feel suitable for traditional and contemporary applications alike.
In terms of performance, the brick delivers a balanced mix of desirable qualities. A comprehensive compressive strength of 15 N/mm² combined with F2 durability makes it appropriate for exposed external walling. The relatively higher water absorption (? 22 %) calls for good detailing—but is manageable when combined with proper cavity design, damp proof courses, and flashings. Its thermal and fire ratings support modern regulatory demands as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the yellow tones look even across the wall?
Variation is to be expected in “multi” bricks—some bricks may be slightly lighter or darker. Mixing bricks from multiple packs during installation helps achieve a balanced, cohesive look.
Is ? 22 % water absorption acceptable for UK exterior walls?
Yes, though it’s on the higher end for facing bricks. With correct detailing—such as well-designed cavities, effective DPCs, and proper flashings—it can perform reliably.
Can this brick be used structurally / in loadbearing walls?
Yes. The compressive strength of ? 15 N/mm² gives it enough capacity for many masonry applications. However, always verify the full structural design (loads, mortar selection, supports, building regulations) for your specific project.
