Wienerberger Hathaway Brindled Facing Brick
The Wienerberger Hathaway Brindled is a hand-moulded stock brick with a rich red/multi brindled effect and a creased, characterful surface. Because clay is a natural material, shade and texture can vary slightly between batches—blend bricks from at least three packs during installation to achieve a consistent façade.
Suited to external facing work in typical UK conditions, it combines heritage looks with dependable performance when detailed correctly.
