Some variation is natural, especially with buff tones. To achieve a balanced appearance, mix bricks from multiple packs during installation and distribute them evenly across the elevation.

Is ? 16 % water absorption acceptable for exterior use?

Yes — 16 % is within acceptable bounds for facing bricks. However, durable performance depends heavily on correct detailing. Proper cavity design, damp proof courses, and flashings are essential.

Can this brick be used structurally or in loadbearing walls?

Yes. With a compressive strength of 25 N/mm², Tawny Buff is suitable for many masonry applications, including external walls. But for heavily loaded structural elements, always verify the design rigorously—check loads, mortar class, supports, and regulatory compliance.
