Wienerberger Sienna Red Facing Brick
The Wienerberger Sienna Red is a wirecut facing brick with a light sanded finish and a traditional red tone. Its crisp edges and subtle texture make it suitable for a wide range of projects, from classic to modern builds. Because clay is a natural product, shade variation between packs is expected — blending bricks from at least three packs during laying is advised to ensure a consistent façade.
This brick combines high strength, frost resistance, and balanced water absorption, making it a dependable choice for external walls in UK conditions.
