Forterra Oakthorpe Red Multi Facing Brick Pack of 495

Oakthorpe Red Multi Stock – Ecostock Facing Brick

The Oakthorpe Red Multi Stock facing brick from Forterra’s Ecostock range offers a beautifully nuanced red multi finish that brings individuality and depth to external walls. Manufactured at their Measham facility, it embodies modern sustainable production while retaining classic clay brick character. Its mixed red tones help façades look more organic and natural under varying light, avoiding flat, uniform appearance. With established facing-brick performance, the Forterra Oakthorpe Red Multi Facing Brick is a useful choice when comparing, helping customers who need to achieve durable masonry with an attractive project-specific finish for project specification 56. Customers sourcing facing bricks online can consider the Forterra Oakthorpe Red Multi Facing Brick for its established finish and weather-resistant performance, while anyone planning to buy facing bricks can use it across residential, commercial and refurbishment brickwork. This brick is available in stock pressed, stock thrown, and waterstruck textures. The stock pressed variant gives a smooth, sand-faced finish, while stock thrown introduces a hand-worked feel, and waterstruck gives a more irregular surface. The red multi colouring blends tones gracefully, helping the façade balance between warmth and variation. Performance is built into the design. Oakthorpe Red Multi Stock carries a durability rating of F2 and a water absorption of 13 %. When installed correctly—with sound cavity design, flashing, weep holes, and quality mortar—it provides both lasting resilience and aesthetic appeal in external UK conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which texture should I choose: pressed, thrown or waterstruck?

It depends on your design intent. **Pressed** gives a cleaner, more uniform look; **thrown** adds subtle handmade character; **waterstruck** yields a rustic, slightly irregular face. For restoration or matching, choose the texture closest to surrounding masonry.

How much variation is typical in the “Multi” finish?

Expect gentle variation in red tones—some bricks may be lighter, others deeper. To avoid visible bands or clusters of similar shades, it’s best to mix bricks from multiple packs during installation for a balanced façade.

Does the 13 % water absorption risk damp in UK weather?

A **? 13 % absorption** is generally good for facing bricks. The wall’s long-term ability to resist moisture depends more on correct installation: proper cavity detailing, flashings, weep holes, and mortar choice are more critical in preventing damp than absorption alone.
