Wienerberger Nevada Buff Facing Brick
The Wienerberger Nevada Buff is an extruded wirecut facing brick with a dragfaced texture and a soft buff tone. Its clean finish and subtle surface variation make it suitable for a wide range of projects, from traditional builds to contemporary designs. As with all clay products, shade variation is expected, so blending bricks from at least three packs on site is advised to achieve a consistent appearance.
This brick delivers dependable performance alongside visual appeal, offering frost resistance, strong compressive strength, and low water absorption levels for long-lasting durability in UK conditions.

Description & Usage Notes
Manufactured at the Sandown works, the Nevada Buff is produced using the extruded wirecut process with a dragfaced finish that adds subtle texture to its smooth buff tone. With water absorption ? 10% and compressive strength ? 50 N/mm², it provides excellent durability and resilience, making it ideal for external facing walls.
The F2 frost resistance rating ensures suitability under normal UK exposure conditions. To achieve long-term performance, correct construction detailing is essential, including cavity design, drainage, flashing, and appropriate mortar selection. Blending bricks from multiple packs during installation helps reduce visible banding.
FAQs
