The Fulwood Multi facing brick is part of Forterra’s Butterley (Accrington) range, bringing together durability, visual complexity, and architectural appeal. With its rich red-multi blend, this brick delivers a vibrant yet natural aesthetic — ideal for new homes, extensions, or feature walls where you want a lively but enduring finish.
Produced via a wirecut / extruded method, Fulwood Multi offers a lightly textured surface that enhances shadowing and depth without overwhelming the masonry. The natural variations in the multi-blend colours mean each wall feels organic and dynamic. It’s designed to perform as well as it looks — built to withstand the UK climate while retaining its character over time.
Thanks to its F2 durability rating and relatively low water absorption, this brick is engineered for longevity in exposed external settings. When used with proper detailing (cavities, flashing, suitable mortar, and moisture control), Fulwood Multi becomes a reliable, low-maintenance option for both residential and commercial use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the “light” texture noticeable in close inspection?
Yes — the light texture gives a subtle relief to the surface, enough to catch shadows and variation without becoming rough. It provides character while still being easy to clean and maintain.
How consistent will the multi-colour tones be across a wall?
Because this is a **multi-blend** brick, tonal variation is expected and intended. To avoid visible banding, it’s best practice to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation. The result is a more natural and balanced façade.
Is 7 % water absorption low for a facing brick? Should I worry about damp issues?
A water absorption of **? 7 %** is excellent for a facing brick — it’s relatively low. When installed with correct flashing, cavity design, and quality mortar, it supports long-term resistance to damp and moisture intrusion.
