Grading bricks

[User________removed]

Looking at some bricks at the minute as im gonna start doing some more on my extension come the better weather, the bricks im looking at are graded F2 !! i believe these are frost resistant, just wondering if anyone is familiar with the grading system and whether F2 were a fairly robust brick ?? @lucius maybe

Cheers

Steve the front and back is gonna be hacked off and rendered, might give it a Tyrolean as she don't want it to modern.
The extension is out of brick purely so i don't have to maintain the neighbors side.

There are 2 grades of frost resistant brick F2 being the most robust,keep them bricks dry through the whole process as them bricks look like they might chuck a bit of efforesance out if they get to wet.
