Wienerberger
Red multis
Launched last summer, Wienerberger added the Lingmoor Heather and Capelwick Multi Stock clay facing bricks to its expanding range. Both are vibrant red multi, sanded products which feature flashing in buff, blue and black tones to add character and create an attractive blend of colours.
Made at the manufacturer’s Denton extruded brick factory in Manchester, the Lingmoor Heather offers a traditional and subtle blend of colours with the clean lines of a modern wirecut brick, making it suitable to fit alongside existing brickwork on renovation projects.
In contrast, Capelwick Multi is a moulded stock brick with a soft texture, hearting and dark spotting. Manufactured in West Sussex at the firm’s Warnham factory, the brick has a clamp fired look whilst benefitting from modern brick production methods to ensure a consistent quality and aesthetic which is unattainable with traditional clamp fired methods.

Imperial Bricks
London bricks
At the London Build exhibition in late November, Imperial Bricks showcased a wide variety of bricks suitable for the Capital and the surrounding area including the new Weathered Original London Stock, Camberley Blend and Capital Blend, the new Linear handmade range and Contemporary Wirecut bricks.
The large choice on offer is designed to be a solution to the problem of how difficult it can be to secure a suitable match for extensions or renovations that need to complement the existing structure, or for a small, in-fill housing development that needs to reflect the local aesthetic.
The wider Imperial range takes into account regional variations across the country and, in addition to its portfolio of ‘standard’ bricks, the company says it can customise blends and age bricks to ensure “a perfect match”.
