Description & Usage Notes
Manufactured at the Warnham plant using a traditional hand-moulding process, the Olde Henfield Multi features a creased surface and blended red/multi tones. With water absorption ? 15% and compressive strength ? 13 N/mm², it is designed for external facing use rather than structural applications.
The F2 durability rating ensures frost resistance in typical UK conditions. Correct construction detailing — cavity walls, flashing, drainage, and appropriate mortar selection — is vital for long-term performance. Always blend bricks from multiple packs to avoid banding, and consider a sample panel before bulk ordering to confirm tone and texture.
