Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose Milton Red Multi over a plain red brick?

The **multi-tone** effect adds visual richness and variation, reducing the stark uniformity you sometimes see in plain red bricks. This gives façades more life, especially under changing daylight conditions.

Does the light pressed texture show up in the wall much?

It’s subtle — enough to soften mortar contrast and catch shadow without being overly rough. It offers a clean, refined appearance that works well when you want character without ruggedness.

Is the 13 % absorption low enough to avoid damp problems?

Yes, **? 13 %** is a solid spec for a facing brick. The real defense against moisture lies in good wall design: correct cavity size, flashing, weep holes, and matching mortar all play a more critical role in long-term wall performance than absorption alone.
