Why Choose New Red Multi Gilt Stock?
This brick stands out with its elegantly blended red tones and gilt accents that shift ever so slightly with light, giving your façade depth and warmth. The flat, sanded finish keeps the surface refined and clean while still allowing texture to bring the wall to life.
From a performance standpoint, it delivers solid all-round credentials. The compressive strength of 21 N/mm² provides good structural capacity for many walling scenarios, while the F2 durability classification ensures it’s suitable for exposed conditions. Its water absorption of 18 % is moderate — so good detailing (cavity systems, damp proof courses, flashings) is key to ensuring it performs well over time. The fire class (A1) and soluble salts grade (S2) round out its suitability for modern construction requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the gilt accents remain visible over time?
Yes. The gilt effect is integral to the brick’s clay and firing process, not a surface coating. While natural weathering may slightly soften the appearance over decades, the characteristic tones and texture remain part of the brick itself rather than peeling or fading unevenly.
Is 18 % water absorption acceptable for external use?
Yes — it is within acceptable limits for many facing bricks. However, careful detailing is essential. Ensure good cavity design, proper damp proof courses, flashing, and avoid bridging moisture paths to maintain long-term performance.
Can this brick be used in loadbearing walls?
Yes — with a compressive strength of ? 21 N/mm², it has reasonable structural capacity. Yet, for loadbearing or heavily stressed applications, always confirm the full structural design (loads, mortar grades, supports, building codes) before use.
