Wienerberger Crofters Medley Facing Brick
The Wienerberger Crofters Medley is a perforated, extruded wirecut facing brick with a dragfaced texture and a warm red / multi colour blend. Its tonal variation adds depth and character, making it suitable for both traditional and modern builds. As with all clay bricks, natural variation is expected, so mixing bricks from at least three packs on site helps achieve a consistent appearance.
This brick offers a balance of visual appeal and technical performance, with frost resistance, reliable strength, and controlled water absorption for standard UK exposure.
