Frequently Asked Questions
Will the red tone look consistent across a large wall?
Some subtle variation is natural. To ensure a cohesive look, mix bricks from multiple packs during installation and avoid placing bricks from the same pack in sequence.
Is 15 % water absorption acceptable for external use?
Yes — it’s within common limits for facing bricks. However, reliable long-term performance depends on good detailing, such as proper cavity design, damp proof courses, and flashings.
Can Warnham Red Stock be used structurally or in loadbearing walls?
Yes. With a compressive strength of 13 N/mm², it is suitable for many masonry applications. For heavily loaded walls or structural elements, always confirm your structural design, mortar choice, supports, and compliance with building regulations.
