Wienerberger Kassandra Multi Facing Brick
The Wienerberger Kassandra Multi is a hand-moulded stock brick with a textured surface and a warm red/multi blend. Its rustic finish makes it a popular choice for projects seeking an authentic, heritage-style appearance. As with all clay products, natural shade variation is expected, so blending bricks from at least three packs during installation is recommended to achieve a consistent façade.
This brick offers character with dependable technical performance, providing frost resistance, moderate compressive strength, and controlled water absorption suitable for facing use in UK conditions.

Description & Usage Notes
The Kassandra Multi is produced at the Beerse plant using a hand-moulded process, giving each brick a unique creased and textured finish. Its tonal variation adds depth and richness, enhancing both traditional and contemporary designs.
With water absorption ? 15% and compressive strength ? 12 N/mm², it is intended for facing use rather than heavy structural loads. Its F2 durability rating ensures frost resistance under normal UK conditions, but correct detailing — including cavity walls, flashing, drainage, and appropriate mortar — is essential for long-term performance.
For consistency, always blend bricks from multiple packs and consider building a sample panel before large-scale use.
FAQs
Is ? 15% water absorption suitable for external walls?
Yes — this level is typical for hand-moulded stock bricks and ensures reliable performance when combined with proper wall detailing.
What does the F2 durability rating mean?
It means the brick is frost-resistant and suitable for use in standard UK exposure conditions.
Will the red/multi colour vary between packs?
Yes — natural variation is inherent in hand-moulded bricks. Mixing bricks from multiple packs helps achieve a more even overall finish.
