{"product_id":"forterra-chatsworth-multi-facing-brick-pack-of-452","title":"Forterra Chatsworth Multi Facing Brick Pack of 452","description":"The Chatsworth Multi facing brick from Forterra’s Butterley range is a striking, versatile option for external walls, elevations, and feature details. It blends multiple red tones with buff accents to create a lively, textured façade that changes subtly under different lighting. Designed for both aesthetic appeal and structural performance, it’s an ideal choice for new builds, extensions, or refurbishment projects.\n\nCrafted via the wirecut (extruded) method with a “rolled back” finish, Chatsworth Multi gives a lightly textured, refined surface that bridges the gap between smooth and rustic. Its multi-tone finish adds visual depth and avoids monotony, making it particularly suitable for walls that need character without being overly busy.\n\nThis is a facing brick, meaning it’s intended for use on visible external walls rather than in cavity or backing construction. With a durability rating of F2 and a water absorption of 7 %, the Chatsworth Multi is built to perform in UK external conditions. When installed with correct detailing — such as cavity design, flashing, weep holes, and suitable mortar — it offers strong resistance to damp, weathering, and long-term wear.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e215 × 102.5 × 65 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003eRed Multi with buff accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003eLight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e? 7 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2 (suitable for exposed external use)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWhat does “facing brick” mean, and why does that matter?\u003c\/h4\u003e A **facing brick** is intended to be seen — it’s used on the outer face of walls, where aesthetics and weather resistance matter most. Chatsworth Multi is made for that role, combining visual appeal with durability. \u003ch4\u003eIs the 7 % water absorption considered low, and does it help with moisture control?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — **7 %** is relatively low for a facing brick. That makes it better at resisting moisture ingress. But absorption alone isn’t everything: installation details like cavity design, flashing, and quality mortar are just as important for preventing damp. \u003ch4\u003eHow much tone variation can I expect, and how should I lay the bricks to keep the look balanced?\u003c\/h4\u003e Because it’s a **multi-tone** brick, variation is expected and part of its charm. You’ll see subtle shifts in red and buff tones across bricks. To avoid clustering or “colour banding,” it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation, aiming for even distribution of tones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck out our full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/building-supplies\"\u003ebuilding supplies\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/bricks-blocks\"\u003ebricks \u0026amp; blocks\u003c\/a\u003e available online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forterra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51448206819670,"sku":"161721","price":489.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/forterra-chatsworth-multi-facing-brick-pack-of-452-8173432.jpg?v=1772657177","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/forterra-chatsworth-multi-facing-brick-pack-of-452","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
