Wienerberger Orange Multi Gilt Stock Facing Brick
The Wienerberger Orange Multi Gilt Stock is a soft-mud facing brick with a warm orange and multi-tone finish enhanced by subtle gilt effects. Its textured surface gives character and charm, making it a popular choice for traditional and heritage-style builds. As with all clay bricks, colour and texture may vary between packs, so mixing bricks from at least three packs during installation is recommended to achieve a uniform façade.
This brick provides visual appeal alongside dependable performance, with frost resistance, moderate compressive strength, and higher water absorption typical of soft-mud stock bricks.
