Frequently Asked Questions
Will the multi tones appear uneven across a wall?
Yes, slight variation between bricks is part of the design. To ensure a balanced appearance, mix bricks from multiple packs during installation and spread tones evenly across the elevation.
Is 15 % water absorption acceptable for external conditions?
Yes. While 15 % is moderate, it is within acceptable limits for facing bricks. The key to long-term durability is correct detailing—vented cavity walls, effective DPCs, proper flashings, and moisture control.
Can Rudgwick Multi Stock be used structurally or in loadbearing walls?
Yes. With a compressive strength of 13 N/mm², it is suitable for many masonry applications. However, for heavy structural use, always verify the structural design, mortar grade, support systems, and building control compliance.
