With its warm orange-red tones and a light texture, it creates façades that feel rich and inviting rather than flat and uniform. It’s a frogged, stock-type brick suited to both new build and refurbishment schemes, offering visual consistency without sacrificing long-term durability. Whether used for feature walls or entire elevations, it gives a strong, confident character to your build.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDimensions (L × W × H):\u003c\/b\u003e215 × 102.5 × 65 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePack quantity:\u003c\/b\u003e500 bricks per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurability:\u003c\/b\u003eF2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eActive soluble salts:\u003c\/b\u003eS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater absorption:\u003c\/b\u003e18 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompressive strength:\u003c\/b\u003e21 N\/mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour \/ texture:\u003c\/b\u003eOrange \/ red with light texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBrick type \/ process:\u003c\/b\u003eStock, frogged facing brick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Waresley Orange Stock?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThis brick offers a balanced aesthetic: it leans orange-red but with enough variation to avoid a flat, “one-tone” look. The light texture gives just enough visual interest without being overly rugged. Its water absorption of 18 % is a bit higher than some facing bricks, so detailing and proper moisture control are important, but in many typical UK walling contexts that is acceptable. With a solid compressive strength of 21 N\/mm², it’s more than capable for structural masonry use, and its F2 durability classification ensures it’s up to the task in exposed environments.\n\nBecause it’s a stock (fired in the conventional way) and frogged brick, you’ll find it easy to work with, use standard battens and supports, and achieve consistent bonding. If you’re after a dependable, characterful orange-toned facing brick that balances aesthetics and performance, this is a strong option.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eIs 18 % water absorption too high for a facing brick?\u003c\/h4\u003e While 18 % is higher than more “premium” facing bricks, it does not necessarily disqualify it. With proper detailing — good cavity design, DPCs, proper flashings, and moisture control — it can perform well in standard UK climates. For more exposed sites (coastal, high freeze\/thaw), extra care is advised. \u003ch4\u003eWill this brick support structural loads?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes. With a compressive strength of 21 N\/mm², this brick is well-suited for structural masonry use in many contexts. Always check your structural design, mortar strength, and local building regulations to ensure all components are adequate for the loading. \u003ch4\u003eHow consistent will the colour be across a build?\u003c\/h4\u003e Because it is a stock brick with a light texture, there will be some natural variation in tone from brick to brick — especially under different lighting conditions. That variation is part of what gives the wall character. Ordering enough bricks from the same batch and mixing during laying helps maintain a more uniform look.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck out our full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/building-supplies\"\u003ebuilding supplies\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/bricks-blocks\"\u003ebricks \u0026amp; blocks\u003c\/a\u003e available online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weinerberger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51448310530390,"sku":"162013","price":563.92,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/wienerberger-waresley-orange-facing-brick-pack-of-500-4861321.jpg?v=1772656761","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/wienerberger-waresley-orange-facing-brick-pack-of-500","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
