Forterra Lindum Cottage Red Multi – Facing Brick (Pack of 495)
The Lindum Cottage Red Multi facing brick blends warm red tones with subtle accent hues—offering a naturally varied aesthetic that brings life and depth to façades. Manufactured by Forterra at the Kirton works, this brick is part of the Butterley heritage line, combining historic character with modern performance. It’s ideal for new builds, extensions, or refurbishment work where you want both visual richness and structural reliability.
With a wirecut / extruded process and a light texture (smooth sanded finish), the Lindum Cottage Red Multi strikes a balance between refined surface and tactile interest. Its multi-tone colouring helps reduce stark contrast between bricks and mortar, creating facades that age gracefully. Because it’s a facing brick, it’s designed for external visible walls where both looks and durability matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lindum Cottage Red Multi suitable for coastal or exposed locations?
Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, it’s built to withstand freeze–thaw cycles and general weather exposure. In harsher climates or coastal settings, paying close attention to detailing (flashing, cavity design, drainage) will help preserve the masonry over time.
How much variation will I see in the “multi” finish?
The multi-tone effect is intentional. You’ll notice shifts in red, buff, and accent tones across the bricks. To achieve a balanced look and avoid clustering of like shades, it’s good practice to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during laying.
Does a 15 % water absorption pose a risk of damp over time?
While **? 15 % absorption** is moderate, the real protection against damp comes from installation quality. Proper cavity detailing, flashing, weep holes, and careful mortar selection are more crucial in preventing moisture ingress than the absorption figure alone
