Why Choose Tabasco Red Multi?
Tabasco Red Multi stands out through its warm, rich red multi coloration — bricks show slight tonal variation that adds character and avoids a flat look. The wirecut finish ensures sharp edges and a clean, modern appearance, while still retaining texture to absorb light and shadow beautifully.
Under the surface, it’s built to last. With a compressive strength of at least 35 N/mm², this brick is capable of handling structural loads in many typical walling applications. Its water absorption cap of 16 % is moderate, so adequate detailing—good cavity design, damp proof courses, flashings—is essential. The F2 durability rating ensures it’s suitable even in exposed UK conditions, and its fire classification, salt rating, and thermal conductivity support modern building requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the red multi tones look patchy across a large wall?
Some variation is natural and part of the “multi” effect. To avoid spotty appearance, mix bricks from multiple packs during laying and distribute tones evenly throughout.
Is 16 % water absorption acceptable for external use?
Yes — it’s within acceptable bounds for many facing bricks. However, success depends heavily on correct detailing (cavity systems, DPCs, flashings, avoiding moisture paths) to maintain long-term durability.
Can this brick be used structurally or in loadbearing walls?
Yes. With a compressive strength of ? 35 N/mm², Tabasco Red Multi has strong structural capacity for many masonry applications. Still, confirm the full structural design (loads, mortar grade, support, regulations) before using it in heavily loaded walls.
