Wienerberger Dewhurst Orange Multi Stock Facing Brick
The Dewhurst Orange Multi is a soft-mud stock facing brick with warm orange and multi tones. Its lightly textured finish and natural variation make it well suited to both traditional and contemporary projects. As with all clay bricks, colour variation is expected, so mixing bricks from at least three packs on site helps achieve a consistent overall appearance.
With reliable frost resistance, moderate strength, and a higher absorption level typical of stock bricks, this product offers character and dependable performance when installed with correct detailing.
