Wienerberger Oakwood Multi Facing Brick
The Wienerberger Oakwood Multi is an extruded wirecut facing brick with a rusticated surface and a rich red multi colour blend. Natural shade and texture variation is part of its appeal—blend bricks from at least three packs during installation for a consistent façade.
Designed for external use in UK conditions, it pairs dependable strength with controlled moisture performance and frost resistance when detailed correctly (cavities, flashings, drainage, compatible mortar).

Description & Usage Notes
The rusticated wirecut finish delivers subtle texture and shadowing that reads well across large elevations. With ? 12% absorption and ? 40 N/mm² strength, Oakwood Multi is intended for facing applications rather than heavy structural loads. Use good moisture management (cavity design, weeps, flashings) and blend from multiple packs on site to minimise banding. A sample panel before bulk order is advisable to confirm tone and finish.
