Ashwell Yellow Multi – Butterley / Forterra Facing Brick
The Ashwell Yellow Multi facing brick by Forterra blends soft buff, golden, and cream tones to create a façade that feels bright, natural, and full of character. It’s a popular choice for both modern and traditional builds where a lighter, more distinctive appearance is desired — whether on a full elevation, an extension, or as a feature wall.
Manufactured using wirecut methods and finished with a subtle indented texture, this brick achieves a refined look with just enough surface relief to catch the light and add depth. The mix of yellow tones gives walls a varied, dynamic effect, helping them stand out without feeling harsh or overly uniform.
With a durability rating of F2 and a water absorption level of 15 %, Ashwell Yellow Multi is engineered to handle the demands of the UK climate. When installed with proper detailing — including cavity design, flashing, drainage, and quality mortar — it provides long-term resilience against frost, moisture, and weathering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ashwell Yellow Multi suitable for exposed locations?
Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, it’s designed for external use in exposed conditions, including areas subject to frost and harsher weather.
How much colour variation will I see in a finished wall?
The **multi-tone finish** includes subtle blends of yellow, buff, and cream. To achieve a balanced result, it’s best practice to mix bricks from several packs during laying.
Does the 15 % water absorption increase the risk of damp?
Not if installed correctly. **? 15 % absorption** is typical for many facing bricks. Good cavity detailing, damp proofing, and correct mortar are more important than the absorption figure alone in preventing moisture issues.
