Wienerberger Dartmoor Heather Facing Brick

The Wienerberger Dartmoor Heather is a wirecut, perforated facing brick with a sanded finish and a red / multi colour blend. Its balanced tones and subtle texture make it a versatile choice for both contemporary and traditional projects. Natural clay variation is expected, so mixing bricks from at least three packs during installation is recommended to achieve a consistent appearance. This brick combines reliable technical performance with attractive aesthetics, offering frost resistance, moderate compressive strength, and controlled water absorption suitable for standard UK exposure.

Description & Usage Notes

The Dartmoor Heather is produced using the extruded wirecut method, ensuring precise dimensions and consistent performance. Its sanded surface adds depth and texture, while the red / multi palette provides a lively yet balanced appearance. With compressive strength of ? 40 N/mm² and water absorption ? 12%, this brick is designed for external walling where performance and style are both important. The F2 durability rating guarantees frost resistance under typical UK conditions, but correct detailing — such as cavity design, drainage, flashing, and compatible mortar — remains essential for long-term service life. To ensure a uniform façade, blend bricks from multiple packs and, where possible, view a sample panel before placing a large order.
