Frequently Asked Questions

Will the red colour appear consistent across the wall?

Some subtle variation is natural in clay bricks. To get a balanced look, mix bricks from multiple packs during installation and spread tones evenly across the elevation.

Is 18 % water absorption too high for exterior use?

No — 18 % is moderate and acceptable within the range for stock bricks. But, durability over time relies heavily on correct detailing: correctly designed cavity systems, DPCs, flashings, and moisture control are essential.

Can this brick be used structurally / in loadbearing walls?

Yes. With a compressive strength of at least 21 N/mm², Waresley Red Stock is suitable for many masonry and external walling applications. For heavy structural loads, always verify load calculations, mortar grade, supports, and building regulation compliance.
