Why Choose Smeed Dean Docklands Yellow Multi?
This brick blends elegance with practicality. The yellow-buff multi tones deliver warmth and gentle variation, softening façades without appearing stark. The flat, sanded texture keeps the surface refined and tactile rather than overly rough.
From a performance standpoint, it offers solid credentials. A compressive strength of 15 N/mm² makes it suitable for many walling uses. Its F2 durability rating ensures it can endure external exposure. The water absorption at up to 22 % is higher than many facing bricks, so careful detailing (cavities, DPCs, flashings) is especially important to ensure long-term resilience. Its fire class (A1) and salts rating (S2) align with modern safety and durability expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the yellow multi tones be consistent across the wall?
There will be variation — that’s part of the “multi” design. To achieve a balanced look, mix bricks from several packs as you lay them, and avoid large uninterrupted batch runs.
Is ? 22 % water absorption too high for external use?
It is relatively high compared to many modern facing bricks. However, if masonry is well detailed — with effective cavity systems, damp proof courses, and properly installed flashings — it can still perform reliably in most UK climates.
Can this brick be used structurally or in loadbearing walls?
Yes. With a compressive strength of at least 15 N/mm², it is suitable for many masonry applications. But for heavier or loadbearing uses, always verify with your structural design, mortar grade, and local building regulations.
