{"product_id":"forterra-county-multi-rustic-facing-brick-pack-of-504","title":"Forterra County Multi Rustic Facing Brick Pack of 504","description":"\u003ch3\u003eCounty Multi Rustic – Butterley \/ Forterra Facing Brick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThe County Multi Rustic is a striking facing brick from Forterra’s Butterley line, combining rich red multi-tones with a deep “rustic” texture to give façades a bold, tactile character. Its multi-blend colouring gives walls a visually rich, evolving look in natural light, while the heavy texture adds shadow and relief — perfect for making feature walls, elevations or new builds stand out.\n\nManufactured by wirecut methods, this brick features a heavy texture that gives a rugged, hand-finished feel while maintaining structural consistency. The rustic surface brings depth and interest without being overly rough, offering a visually engaging yet workable finish for masons.\n\nPerformance is built in. This brick carries a durability rating of F2, making it suitable for external, exposed use in UK climates. Its water absorption is 7 %, which is relatively low — meaning it resists moisture uptake more than many facing bricks. Combined with correct detailing (cavity design, flashing, weep holes, good mortar), County Multi Rustic delivers both strength and aesthetic appeal for lasting external walls.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003eRustic\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\u003eIs County Multi Rustic suitable for walls in cold or coastal environments?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes — its **F2 durability rating** ensures it performs well in exposed conditions, including coastal and frost-prone zones. With appropriate detailing (good cavity, flashing, drainage, mortar), it’s up to the task. \u003ch4\u003eHow much variation will I see in the multi-tone finish?\u003c\/h4\u003e Expect some tonal variation — multi bricks are designed to include shifts in shade. To get a balanced, harmonious finish and avoid visual “clumping” of similar shades, mix bricks from multiple packs during installation. \u003ch4\u003eDoes a 7 % water absorption mean less risk of damp or moisture problems?\u003c\/h4\u003e A **? 7 %** absorption is fairly low for a facing brick, which helps with moisture resistance. Still, the wall’s performance depends more on installation — proper cavity detailing, flashing, weep holes, and the right mortar are key to preventing damp ingress over time.\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":51448207016278,"sku":"161723","price":638.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/forterra-county-multi-rustic-facing-brick-pack-of-504-6742061.jpg?v=1772657175","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/forterra-county-multi-rustic-facing-brick-pack-of-504","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
