Handcrafted stock facings
Wirecut facings
Historically, hand crafted bricks were created by pressing clay into sand dusted wooden moulds. Once the shape was formed each brick would be turned out and fired. The sand would then burn away in the firing process giving each brick a natural and unique texture. The basic principle of brick making hasn’t changed to this day but with the aid of modern machinery and various mixtures of clay and sand we can create a wide range of colours with a textured crease or sanded stock finish. These bricks are generally indented, which is traditionally referred to as a frog.
These bricks are manufactured by extruding clay through a die before being cut to size by wire. This extrusion process enables us to create products with smooth, sanded or textured finishes. By using a variety of clays, sands and firing temperatures wirecut facings are available in a wide range of colours. Wirecut facings have a higher compressive strength and lower water absorption than stock moulded bricks and are normally perforated.
Water struck facings
Make your choice from an extremely varied range. Do you like the character of handcrafted bricks? Or do you prefer wirecut bricks, which are smooth, straight and have a regular shape? Anything is possible with facing bricks from Wienerberger. Standard or exclusive - in every shape, size and colour.
The manufacturing process of water struck products is similar to that of stock and handcrafted bricks, the difference being - as their name suggests - water instead of sand is used to release them from their moulds. Water struck facings have a smooth faced, variably textured surface, are either solid or frogged and are available in a wide range of colours.

This exclusive range of high quality bricks in a smooth or lightly sanded finish will create an individual style and is available in a wide range of sizes.

Bond patterns can have a dramatic effect on the final appearance of a building. A facade finished with one of the more common bonding patterns, will enhance the style of brick chosen, while a more freeform and creative approach to brickwork will generate innovative, distinctive and memorable designs.
The number of bricks you need will vary depending on the dimensions of the brick chosen and the joint size employed. For more detailed advice on quantities and bond patterns please contact our Design Services Department on 0161 491 8200.
