Could someone advise on the best type of brick to use below DPC on a house. I need to select a black brick for 3 courses below DPC, 1 course will be under the side path level and the other two courses will be above finish ground level up to DPC. Some searches say 4.5% and others say 7.5% water absorption is required for below DPC.
I was recommended the following brick which is 12% absorption, and is F2 S2.
My facing bricks above DPC are <10% and F2 S2.
I don't want them popping because of frost in winter.
