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.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e215 × 102 × 65 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003eRed \/ Red Multi blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture:\u003c\/b\u003eLight \/ Stock finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e14 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompressive Strength:\u003c\/b\u003e25 N\/mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePack Quantity:\u003c\/b\u003e475 bricks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eIs Capital Multi suitable for exposed or coastal sites?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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. \u003ch4\u003eHow much variation should I expect across the wall?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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. \u003ch4\u003eDoes a 14 % absorption rate risk moisture or damp issues?\u003c\/h4\u003e 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.\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":"Ibstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51448218517846,"sku":"161845","price":819.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/ibstock-capital-multi-facing-brick-pack-of-475-4688912.jpg?v=1772656946","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/ibstock-capital-multi-facing-brick-pack-of-475","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
