Wienerberger Mulberry Red Facing Brick
The Wienerberger Mulberry Red is an extruded wirecut facing brick with a sanded finish and warm red/multi tones. Its clean lines and subtle texture make it a versatile choice for a wide range of projects. As with all clay products, natural colour variation is expected, so mixing bricks from at least three packs during installation is recommended to achieve a consistent façade.
This brick combines attractive appearance with reliable technical properties, offering frost resistance, dependable compressive strength, and controlled water absorption for external facing applications in the UK.

Description & Usage Notes
Manufactured at Waresley using the extruded wirecut process, the Mulberry Red features vertical perforations and a sanded surface that adds texture while maintaining sharp edges. Its red and multi tones provide depth, making it suitable for both contemporary and traditional designs.
With water absorption ? 16% and compressive strength ? 35 N/mm², this brick is intended for facing applications, not heavy structural use. Its F2 frost resistance rating ensures durability in standard UK exposure conditions, provided correct detailing — such as cavity design, drainage, flashing, and mortar selection — is followed.
Always blend bricks from several packs to minimise colour banding, and consider ordering a sample panel before large-scale installation to confirm appearance.
FAQs
Is ? 16% water absorption suitable for external walls?
Yes — this is a standard level for extruded facing bricks and performs well with proper wall detailing.
What does the F2 durability rating mean?
It means the brick is frost-resistant and suitable for normal UK exposure conditions.
Will the red/multi tones vary between packs?
Yes — natural variation is part of clay production. Mixing bricks from at least three packs ensures a consistent finish.
