Wienerberger Nuthurst Red Multi Facing Brick
The Wienerberger Nuthurst Red Multi is a pressed soft-mud stock brick with natural red and multi tones. Its lightly textured surface and warm colouring make it a versatile choice for both traditional and modern projects. As with all clay products, shade and texture variation is expected, so blending bricks from at least three packs during installation is recommended to achieve a consistent façade.
This brick delivers dependable performance along with heritage charm, providing frost resistance, moderate compressive strength, and controlled water absorption suitable for facing applications in UK conditions.

Description & Usage Notes
Manufactured at the Waresley plant using the pressed soft-mud process, the Nuthurst Red Multi has a distinctive textured finish and tonal variation that enhances both period and contemporary architecture. With water absorption ? 18% and compressive strength ? 21 N/mm², it is suited for facing use rather than heavy structural applications. Its F2 durability rating ensures frost resistance in typical UK exposure conditions.
For long-term performance, proper construction detailing — including cavity wall design, drainage, flashing, and compatible mortar — is essential. To minimise visual banding, blend bricks from multiple packs and consider building a sample panel before ordering in bulk.
