Why Choose Olde Cranleigh Multi?

Olde Cranleigh Multi stands out for its blend of heritage and performance. The red-multi tones lend warmth and variation to large expanses, while the hand-moulded, creased texture gives façades a sense of individuality and visual depth. Technically, it’s designed to deliver. With 13 N/mm² compressive strength and F2 durability, it suits a wide range of external walling conditions. The ? 15 % water absorption is moderate — so good detailing (vented cavities, damp proof courses, flashings, moisture control) is essential to ensure long-term durability. Combined with solid thermal and fire ratings, and controlled soluble salts (S2), it holds up to modern building demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the red-multi tones vary too much across a wall?

Some variation is normal—this contributes to the charm of a “multi” brick. To achieve an even, cohesive look, mix bricks from several packs during laying and distribute tones across the elevation.

Is 15 % water absorption acceptable for exterior use?

Yes — 15 % is within acceptable bounds for facing bricks. But success depends heavily on sound detailing, including proper cavity design, damp-proof courses, efficient flashings, and management of moisture ingress.

Can this brick be used structurally or in loadbearing walls?

Yes. With a compressive strength of 13 N/mm², it is suitable for many masonry applications. However, for heavily loaded or critical structural elements, always check your structural design, mortar grade, support layout, and compliance with building regulations.
