Why Choose Draycott Red Multi?
Draycott Red Multi is more than a typical red brick. Its multi-tone red hues introduce depth and variation, giving façades richness and subtle shifts in character as light changes. The wirecut texture offers clean edges and a refined surface, ideal for both crisp detailing and broader massing.
Technically, it performs strongly in external walling. With its compressive strength of 40 N/mm² and F2 durability, it is well-suited to many exposed conditions. Its water absorption level (? 10 %) is good for reducing moisture intrusion when paired with sound detailing—cavities, DPCs, flashings, etc. The moderate thermal conductivity and fire rating complete a profile that supports both design and performance goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the red tones appear consistent across the wall?
Some variation is natural and intentional. The “multi” element means bricks will differ subtly in shade, creating a richer visual tapestry. To maintain balance, mix bricks from multiple packs as you lay them.
Is 10 % water absorption low enough for UK external use?
Yes—it’s considered a favorable absorption level for facing bricks. However, long-term performance depends heavily on quality detailing (good cavity design, DPCs, flashings, etc.) to manage moisture.
Can Draycott Red Multi be used structurally or in loadbearing walls?
Yes. With a compressive strength of 40 N/mm², it has a strong capacity for many masonry applications. That said, always verify structural loads, mortar class, lintel capacity, and regulatory compliance for your specific use case.
