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.

F2 signifies frost resistance appropriate for normal UK exposure conditions.
Will colour and texture vary between packs?
Yes—variation is natural in clay bricks. Mixing from at least three packs will produce a more uniform overall appearance.
