Forterra Autumn Glow Facing Brick Pack of 495

The Autumn Glow brick from Forterra’s Ecostock range captures the warm, varied tones of autumn in clay form. With rich red and subtle variation tones, it offers a distinctive and appealing façade ideal for homes, extensions, or feature walls. Its classic look is complemented by modern manufacture, making it both beautiful and dependable. Manufactured with a stock thrown texture, Autumn Glow delivers a lightly tactile, hand-crafted feel without sacrificing consistency. The variation in each brick gives façades natural depth and charm, while the overall uniformity ensures clean, well-fitting construction. As part of the Ecostock line, this brick benefits from advanced production techniques that emphasize sustainability and quality. In terms of performance, Autumn Glow is built to last. It carries an F2 durability rating, meaning it’s suitable for external applications even in exposed conditions. Its water absorption is held to a maximum of 13 %, which — when paired with solid construction practices (cavity detailing, proper mortar, drainage) — helps guard against damp and weathering over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Autumn Glow appropriate for façades in coastal or windy areas?

Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, Autumn Glow is designed for exposed conditions including coastal or high-wind zones. Provided it is installed with correct detailing (good cavity, flashing, weep holes), it should perform reliably over many years.

How much colour variation is to be expected with the “red variation” look?

Autumn Glow is meant to deliver visual richness, so you’ll find bricks include slightly lighter or darker tone patches. To achieve a balanced appearance and avoid clustering like shades, it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation.

Does the 13 % water absorption lead to moisture issues in practice?

A water absorption of **? 13 %** is common for facing bricks and is acceptable when the brick is used with proper construction detailing. If the cavity, flashing, damp-proof measures, and mortar choice are correct, moisture is managed effectively — the absorption rating alone doesn’t dictate wetness in the wall.
