Wienerberger Cinnabar Red Multi Facing Brick
The Wienerberger Cinnabar Red Multi is a high-quality facing brick that blends warm red and multi tones with a lightly sanded wirecut finish. Its natural variation gives character and depth, making it suitable for a wide range of projects. Because clay is a natural material, shades may differ between packs — blending bricks from at least three packs during installation is recommended to achieve a uniform finish.
This brick balances attractive aesthetics with reliable technical performance, including frost resistance, moderate compressive strength, and controlled water absorption.

Description & Usage Notes
Made using the extruded wirecut process, the Cinnabar Red Multi delivers consistent sizing with a natural sanded texture. Its tonal variation enhances façades with warmth and character.
With water absorption of ? 16% and compressive strength of ? 35 N/mm², this brick is well suited for external facing applications, provided proper detailing is in place. The F2 frost resistance ensures it withstands normal UK weather exposure, while cavity design, drainage, and flashing are essential for long-term performance.
For the best finish, bricks should be blended from multiple packs during laying, and a trial panel or sample should be reviewed before placing large orders.
FAQs
Is ? 16% water absorption suitable for external walls?
Yes — this is typical for certain facing bricks. With correct detailing, it ensures durable performance in external walls.
What does F2 durability mean?
It means the brick is frost-resistant and appropriate for standard UK exposure conditions. For coastal or severe freeze-thaw environments, a higher durability rating may be advisable.
Will the red multi colour vary between packs?
Yes — natural variation is expected with clay bricks, especially multi-tone blends. Mixing bricks from several packs ensures a balanced overall appearance.
