Wienerberger Heritage Blend Facing Brick
The Wienerberger Heritage Blend is a hand-moulded stock brick with a warm blend of red, buff, and brown tones. Its lightly textured finish gives a heritage character, making it ideal for traditional builds and projects where an authentic appearance is required. Natural variation in shade and texture is part of its appeal, so mixing bricks from at least three packs during installation is recommended to achieve a consistent finish.
This brick provides rustic charm with dependable performance, offering frost resistance, moderate compressive strength, and controlled water absorption suitable for facing applications in UK conditions.

Description & Usage Notes
The Heritage Blend is manufactured at the Kortemark HV plant using traditional hand-moulding techniques, giving each brick its distinctive creased finish and natural variation. Its warm colour palette suits both restoration projects and contemporary designs seeking a rustic touch.
With water absorption ? 15% and compressive strength ? 12 N/mm², it is designed for external facing use rather than heavy structural loads. Its F2 frost resistance rating ensures it performs reliably in typical UK conditions, provided proper construction detailing is followed — including cavity walls, flashing, drainage, and compatible mortar.
Always blend bricks from multiple packs on site to minimise colour banding. For large projects, a sample panel is recommended before full order placement to confirm tone and texture.
