Ibstock Capital Multi – Stock Facing Brick (Pack of 475)
The Capital Multi stock facing brick blends classic red clay tones with subtle variation to create façades that are warm, natural and full of character. Unlike uniform reds, this brick’s red/multi hue adds depth and interest across large elevations, making walls feel more alive under shifting light. With a light textured stock finish, its surface relief softens mortar lines and gives the façade a refined yet tactile look. This makes it suitable for everything from entire brickwork elevations to accents, extensions, or refurbishment projects where balance between visual appeal and performance is key. Engineered to stand up to UK weather, the Capital Multi offers long-term structural reliability as well as design flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Capital Multi suitable for exposed or coastal sites?
Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, this brick is designed for external exposure including freeze–thaw conditions. In coastal or harsher environments, robust detailing (flashings, cavity design, effective drainage, good mortar) is especially important to maintain long-term wall performance.
How much variation should I expect across the wall?
Because it’s a **multi-tone brick**, you’ll see gentle shifts in red shades across the surface. To avoid clustering or obvious “colour banding,” it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation so the variation is spread evenly.
Does a 14 % absorption rate risk moisture or damp issues?
A **14 % absorption** is moderate and acceptable for facing bricks. However, moisture resistance depends more on how the wall is built—correct cavities, flashing, drainage, and suitable mortar all play a larger role in preventing dampness than absorption alone.
