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.\n\nWith 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).\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 \/ Pressed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e? 13 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWhy choose Milton Red Multi over a plain red brick?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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. \u003ch4\u003eDoes the light pressed texture show up in the wall much?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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. \u003ch4\u003eIs the 13 % absorption low enough to avoid damp problems?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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.\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":51448211407190,"sku":"161772","price":506.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/forterra-milton-red-multi-facing-brick-pack-of-495-9865848.jpg?v=1772657078","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/forterra-milton-red-multi-facing-brick-pack-of-495","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
