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.
