Why Choose Durham Red Multi?
Durham Red Multi strikes a fine balance between classic character and modern reliability. Its red/multi colouring delivers variation and depth, giving your brickwork a nuanced, sophisticated look rather than flat uniformity. The pressed stock finish gives warm texture and subtle detail, ideal for traditional or mixed materials façades.
From a technical standpoint, it holds up solidly. With compressive strength of at least 20 N/mm² and F2 durability, it’s suitable for external walling in exposed conditions. Its ? 14 % water absorption is moderate, so careful detailing (cavity design, damp proofing, flashings, etc.) is key to keeping performance high over time. Its thermal conductivity, fire class (A1), and salts classification (S2) all align with modern building requirements, giving assurance of safety and longevity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the red/multi tones look consistent across a wall?
While the “multi” element ensures slight tonal differences between bricks, that variation is part of the design’s appeal. To maintain visual balance, it’s best to **mix bricks from multiple packs** during installation to avoid visible banding.
Is 14 % water absorption acceptable for external use?
Yes — 14 % is within acceptable limits for many facing bricks. The key is to **pair the brick with good detailing** (proper cavity walls, damp proof courses, and flashings) to manage moisture and maintain durability over time.
Can Durham Red Multi be used in structural or loadbearing walls?
Yes. With a compressive strength of 20 N/mm², it’s capable of many masonry applications. However, for heavily loaded or critical structural uses, always confirm your full structural design, mortar selection, and compliance with local building regulations.
