Wienerberger Autumn Russet Sovereign Facing Brick Pack of 430

Wienerberger Autumn Russet Sovereign Stock Facing Brick

The Autumn Russet Sovereign Stock is a waterstruck facing brick with warm russet and multi tones, finished with a softly textured surface. Its traditional look makes it well suited for heritage, restoration, and character builds. Because clay bricks naturally vary in shade, blending bricks from at least three packs on site is recommended to achieve a consistent finish. This brick offers charm with dependable technical performance, providing frost resistance, adequate compressive strength, and higher absorption typical of waterstruck stock bricks when detailed correctly.

Description & Usage Notes

Manufactured at Hartlebury using the waterstruck process, this brick has a softly textured surface with natural variation. Its russet and multi colouring provides a distinctive appearance that blends well with both traditional and modern architecture.
