Why Choose Renaissance Multi?
Renaissance Multi stands out through its classic red multi tones, enhanced with subtle creamy, ochre and grey highlights that shift with light. The creased, hand-moulded surface adds texture and artistry to façades — not a flat wall, but one with character and depth.
Technically, it performs well for external applications. Its compressive strength (? 12 N/mm²) and F2 durability rating make it suitable for many masonry uses in moderate exposure zones. With a controlled water absorption (? 15 %) and Class A1 fire rating, the brick balances aesthetic charm with dependable performance. Proper detailing—cavity wall design, damp-proof courses, and flashings—ensures long-term stability and resilience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the colour vary across a build?
Yes — the variation in red, cream, ochre, and grey tones is intentional, giving your wall a rich, dynamic look. To maintain balance, blend bricks from different packs on site during laying.
Is 15 % water absorption safe for exterior use?
Yes, when combined with solid detailing. A 15 % absorption rate is within acceptable bounds for facing bricks, but you’ll want to ensure good cavity design, effective damp-proofing, and proper flashings to manage moisture over time.
Can this brick be used for loadbearing walls?
Potentially yes. With compressive strength ? 12 N/mm², it’s suitable for many masonry applications. However, for loadbearing or high-stress uses, always check load calculations, mortar grades, supports, and local building regulations for your specific project.
