Why Choose Sunset Red Multi?
Sunset Red Multi brings more to the table than just red tones. The “multi” effect means each brick has slight tonal differences that create a façade which changes with the light, avoiding flatness and giving depth. Its extruded wirecut surface gives clean, crisp edges and a refined texture that complements both modern and classic materials.
Performance-wise, it holds its own. A compressive strength of 30 N/mm² gives capacity for many masonry uses, while its F2 durability ensures it can cope with exposure to weather. With up to 15 % water absorption, careful detailing (cavities, damp proofing, flashings) is key. Its Class A1 fire rating and salts classification (S2) round off a well-balanced specification.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much variation should I expect in tone?
Because it’s a “multi” brick, there will be natural differences in colour — subtle shifts from brick to brick are part of the design. To keep the wall visually consistent, mix bricks from different packs while laying.
Is 15 % water absorption okay for external use?
Yes — it's within acceptable limits for facing bricks. However, good detailing is essential (cavities, DPCs, flashings, avoiding moisture bridges) to maintain performance over time.
Can I use this brick structurally or for loadbearing walls?
Yes. With a compressive strength of ? 30 N/mm², it is suitable for many structural masonry applications. Still, always verify your load calculations, mortar grade, supports, and compliance with building regulations for your specific project.
