Wienerberger Smooth Red Engineering Brick (Class B) – High-Strength Brick for Structural and Aesthetic Use
Engineered for performance and designed for versatility, the Wienerberger Smooth Red Engineering Brick (24190000) is a Class B brick ideal for both heavy-duty construction and visual detailing. With a sleek, smooth red face, this perforated wirecut brick is built to deliver exceptional strength, low water absorption, and a professional finish.
Though primarily intended for structural applications below DPC (damp-proof course) level—such as foundations, retaining walls, and drainage work—its durable surface and uniform appearance make it equally suitable for aesthetic use in exposed brickwork.
