Forterra Milton Red Multi – Pressed Facing Brick (Pack of 495)
The Milton Red Multi pressed facing brick from Forterra blends classic red tones with subtle multi-shade variation, giving external walls a lively, natural character. The pressed texture ensures clean edges and geometric consistency, while the red-multi colouring helps soften contrast with mortar and bring warmth to façades. Because it's a facing brick, it’s built for visible, external masonry — marrying appearance and durability in one product.
With the Pack of 495 format, this brick is ideal for full elevations, extensions, or large walls, giving you a full load in one boxed quantity. Designed to perform in UK weather, Milton Red Multi is engineered to resist moisture and frost when installed with correct detailing (cavities, flashings, weep holes, good mortar).

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.
