Wienerberger Sawston Buff Facing Brick Pack of 660

Wienerberger Sawston Buff Stock Facing Brick

The Wienerberger Sawston Buff Stock facing brick brings together soft buff tones, a textured surface, and solid masonry performance. With its mellow, warm character, this brick works well in both classic and modern settings. The “stock” manufacturing style lends it a heritage feel, while its structural properties ensure it’s more than just decorative. This is a brick that’s made to look and last — combining aesthetic value with dependable durability for external walling applications.

Why Choose Sawston Buff Stock?

Sawston Buff Stock offers a balanced aesthetic and practical performance. Its buff colour is warm enough to harmonize with both neutral and bold material palettes, while the heavily textured surface adds tactile character without becoming overly rugged. It’s a good choice when you want a traditional appearance with enough variation to avoid flatness. From a technical standpoint, it’s designed to handle typical external conditions. Though its water absorption (19 %) is on the higher side, its F2 durability rating and 12 N/mm² compressive strength give it sufficient resilience when installed with careful detailing. For areas with heavy exposure, attention to cavity design, damp proofing, and drainage will be essential to maintain long-term performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the buff tone look consistent throughout the wall?

There will naturally be variation across bricks—especially with stock-style, textured units. Mixing bricks from several packs during laying helps the overall façade appear more uniform and balanced.

Is 19 % water absorption too high for exterior walls?

It is higher than many modern facing bricks, but not necessarily prohibitive. When combined with proper detailing—good cavity design, DPCs, effective flashings, and moisture control—this brick can still perform well in many UK contexts.

Can this brick support structural loads?

Yes, to a degree. With a compressive strength of 12 N/mm², it’s suitable for many masonry applications, especially in non-extreme loading scenarios. However, for heavy structural or loadbearing applications, cross-check the full structural design, mortar strength, and local regulation compliance.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
