Ibstock Cissbury Red Multi – Stock Facing Brick (Pack of 475)
The Cissbury Red Multi facing brick gives your façades a warm, rich red foundation with natural depth and subtle tonal variation. The “multi” blend ensures walls don’t appear flat — each brick contributes gentle differences in tone that create a vibrant, living effect as light changes through the day. With a sandfaced stock finish, the surface offers just enough texture to soften the look of mortar joints and introduce delicate shadowing without overwhelming the design. This brick is ideal for housing developments, extension work, and architectural detail elements where you want the strength of red brick matched with visual sophistication. It performs reliably in external UK conditions while offering a look that feels intentional, natural, and robust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cissbury Red Multi suitable for coastal or exposed conditions?
Yes — with its **F2 durability rating**, this brick is engineered for exterior use, including in exposure to frost and variable weather. For more demanding environments like coastal zones, meticulous detailing (flashing, drainage, cavity setup, quality mortar) is key to maintaining long-term resilience.
How much variation should I expect in the red multi finish?
You’ll see natural variation across the bricks — that’s part of the design appeal of a “multi” brick. To avoid clustering of similar tones or visible banding, it’s best practice to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation so the variation is dispersed evenly.
Does a 14 % absorption rate pose a risk of damp or moisture issues?
A **14 % water absorption** is moderate and typical for many facing bricks. The crucial factors for moisture control lie in the wall construction itself: correct cavity design, effective flashing, weep holes, and compatible mortar all play a bigger role in preventing damp than absorption alone.
