Wienerberger Hartlebury Oast Russet Sovereign Facing Brick Pack of 430

Wienerberger Oast Russet Sovereign Stock Facing Brick

The Wienerberger Oast Russet Sovereign is a waterstruck stock brick with a warm red and multi-tone palette. Its soft texture and subtle variation give it a traditional look, making it well suited to heritage and restoration projects. As with all clay bricks, natural shade differences are expected, so blending from at least three packs during installation is recommended to achieve a consistent finish. This brick provides heritage character with dependable performance, offering frost resistance, moderate strength, and higher absorption levels typical of waterstruck stock bricks when detailed correctly.

Description & Usage Notes

The Oast Russet Sovereign is produced using the waterstruck process, which creates a lightly textured surface and natural tonal variation. Its russet and multi colouring gives depth and warmth, fitting both restoration and character builds. With water absorption ≤ 21% and compressive strength ≥ 21 N/mm², this brick is best used for facing applications rather than heavy structural work. Its F2 frost resistance ensures durability in normal UK exposure conditions. Proper construction detailing — including cavity design, flashing, drainage, and compatible mortar — is essential for long-term performance. Always blend bricks from multiple packs to minimise colour banding, and consider building a sample panel to confirm tone and finish before committing to a large order.

FAQs

Is ≤ 21% water absorption suitable for external walls?

Yes — this is normal for waterstruck stock bricks and performs well with correct construction detailing.

What does the F2 durability rating mean?

It means the brick is frost-resistant and suitable for normal UK external exposure conditions.

Will the russet multi tones vary between packs?

Yes — shade variation is natural with clay bricks. Mixing from at least three packs during laying helps achieve a consistent finish.
