Why Choose Hurstwood Multi?
Hurstwood Multi is ideal when you’re aiming for a light, timeless finish with character. Its yellow/multi palette adds subtle variation that keeps façades from looking monotonous. The flat texture gives a clean, elegant surface that works in both traditional and modern settings.
From a performance standpoint, it holds up reliably. The compressive strength of 13 N/mm² ensures suitability for many masonry applications, and the F2 durability rating makes it capable of enduring typical UK weather exposure. The ? 20 % water absorption is moderate, so using good detailing—well-designed cavities, damp proofing, and proper flashings—is key to long-term performance. Its fire class (A1) and salts classification (S2) round out a balanced specification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the yellow/multi tones appear consistent across a wall?
Slight variations between bricks are natural and part of the “multi” effect. To maintain harmony, mix bricks from multiple packs during laying and distribute tones evenly.
Is 20 % water absorption safe for external use?
Yes — though it’s higher than some premium facing bricks, it’s still acceptable when combined with precise detailing. Good cavity design, DPCs, flashings, and moisture management are essential.
Can Hurstwood Multi be used structurally or in loadbearing walls?
Yes. With a compressive strength of 13 N/mm², it is suitable for many masonry applications. For heavier structural demands, verify your load calculations, mortar class, support systems, and compliance with building regulations.
