Somersby Multi (65mm)

The Wienerberger Somersby Multi 65mm Brick represents a premium choice for modern construction and traditional renovations alike. As a high-quality wirecut facing brick, it offers an exceptional blend of aesthetic appeal and structural performance. Many developers and homeowners choose this brick for its distinctive multi-tonal finish. Consequently, it provides a warm and inviting look to any building facade. Furthermore, Wienerberger manufactures this brick at their renowned Ewhurst facility using advanced extruded methods. This process ensures high consistency and precision in every single unit produced.

In addition, the Somersby Multi features a robust texture that creates visual interest across large surface areas. This texture helps to diffuse light and hide minor surface imperfections. Therefore, architects often specify this product for projects requiring a sophisticated yet rugged exterior. Moreover, the 65mm size is the standard choice for UK construction projects. Using this standard size ensures compatibility with most existing masonry work. What is more, the brick offers a high compressive strength of 60 N/mm². This makes it suitable for load-bearing walls and demanding structural applications across various sectors.

Key Features of This Facing Brick

• High compressive strength of 60 N/mm² ensures excellent structural integrity.
• F2 durability rating provides full resistance to severe frost and winter weather.
• S2 active soluble salt rating prevents unsightly efflorescence and staining.
• T2 size tolerance class offers high precision for neat and clean mortar joints.
• Water absorption rate stays below 10% to prevent moisture-related damage.
• Sustainable production methods at the Ewhurst plant reduce environmental impact.
• A1 fire reaction class means the material is non-combustible and safe.

Ideal Uses for Somersby Multi Facing Bricks

• New build residential homes that require a traditional and warm aesthetic.
• Commercial property developments needing durable and low-maintenance facades.
• Large-scale housing estates that benefit from a consistent brick supply.
• Extension projects where matching existing multi-tonal masonry is vital.
• Garden walls and boundary masonry due to the high frost resistance rating.
• Interior feature walls for a rustic industrial look in modern apartments.
• Outdoor fireplaces or chimney stacks that require non-combustible materials.

Furthermore, the technical build of this brick supports long-term performance in the British climate. For example, the low water absorption rate protects the brick during freeze-thaw cycles. Consequently, your building maintains its structural and visual integrity for decades. Similarly, the extruded wirecut method results in a precise finish. This allows for faster laying speeds on site, which can reduce overall labour costs. Above all, the Somersby Multi is a reliable choice that balances modern production technology with timeless visual charm.

Colour and Appearance

The Somersby Multi is famous for its rich and varied colour palette. Specifically, it features a base of earthy red tones blended with darker charcoal and lighter orange highlights. This variety prevents the “patchwork” look often seen with lower-quality bricks. Instead, it creates a harmonious and natural flow across the masonry. On the other hand, the wirecut texture adds a sharp and professional edge to the profile. This combination of natural colour and modern texture makes it highly versatile. Whether you are building a contemporary office or a classic suburban home, these bricks provide a lasting and attractive finish. Always remember to blend from multiple packs during installation to achieve the best colour distribution.
