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.\n\nWith 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.\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\u003eLight (smooth \/ sanded)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e? 15 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2 (suitable for external exposed use)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eIs Lindum Cottage Red Multi suitable for coastal or exposed locations?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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. \u003ch4\u003eHow much variation will I see in the “multi” finish?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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. \u003ch4\u003eDoes a 15 % water absorption pose a risk of damp over time?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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\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":51448212029782,"sku":"161781","price":506.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/forterra-lindum-cottage-red-multi-facing-brick-pack-of-495-8094155.jpg?v=1772657071","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/forterra-lindum-cottage-red-multi-facing-brick-pack-of-495","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
