Fletton bricks

Hello I need to find out if my house is built with flettons as I want to paint it and apparently you cant if their flettons. They look like london bricks but when cut they are red all through and apparently flettons are grey but not sure if this proves much. Any advice would be welcome thanks.

Re: exterior wooden cladding

Thanks. I thought the spacing was ok. Bit worried about the thickness though. I didnt know about it going black though! I thought it went silver. Think i read somewhere that oil every 5 yrs was the answer. I think they suggested TUNG OIL.

exterior wooden cladding

Hello, I would like to replace some upvc cladding with some cedar wood feather edge. Just a bit worried that the vertical battons arent up to the job. They are an inch thick every 400mm apart. Anyone think its too risky? Many thanks.
