Description
The Leicester Red Multi Brick (65 mm in height) is a stock-style, frogged facing brick that masterfully balances traditional charm with solid performance. Its foundation—a rich red tone—features gentle multi-tonal variations, while the lightly textured, sand-faced surface lends visual depth and character. This makes it a superb choice for both period-inspired dwellings and contemporary architectural projects.
Available in the standard size of 215 × 102 × 65 mm, bricks typically come in packs of around 500, providing ample coverage for modest to substantial building tasks. With a compressive strength generally around 20 N/mm²—and in some specifications up to 60 N/mm²—the Leicester Red Multi is well-equipped for both structural and non-structural uses. Additionally, water absorption is approximately 19%, giving it reliable durability against the elements.
This clay brick also brings intrinsic thermal mass and acoustic insulation benefits, helping to regulate internal temperatures and reduce noise penetration—enhancing both energy efficiency and comfort. Its frost resistance rating (F2) ensures excellent performance in diverse weather conditions.
Ideal for a wide array of applications such as full brick façades, boundary walls, extensions, and architectural detailing, the Leicester Red Multi pairs beautifully with a variety of materials like stone, timber, and contrasting brick types. To ensure a harmonious and natural-looking finish across large areas, it’s recommended to blend bricks from multiple packs.
Overall, the Leicester Red Multi Brick offers a timeless red aesthetic combined with robust engineering qualities and practical weather resistance—making it a trusted, versatile favourite among homeowners, builders, and designers alike.
