Why Choose Waresley Smoked Yellow Multi Gilt Stock?
This brick offers a rare blend of warmth, subtle variation, and architectural elegance. The smoked yellow multi tones add complexity — it’s not a plain buff, but a gently nuanced surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the smoked yellow multi tones appear uniform across a wall?
No – some variation is part of the design and charm. To avoid visible banding, mix bricks from multiple packs during installation and spread tones evenly across the elevation.
Is ? 18 % water absorption safe for exterior walling?
Yes — it’s within acceptable limits for facing bricks, though on the higher side. With proper detailing (cavities, DPCs, flashings, and moisture control), it can perform reliably in UK climates.
Can this brick be used structurally or in loadbearing walls?
Yes. With a compressive strength of 21 N/mm², it has sufficient capacity for many masonry loads. However, always check your structural design (loads, supports, mortar, and regulations) for your specific application.
