Glazed bricks

Glazed bricks | Tailor made solutions

The glazed brick takes a bright role more and more often in new developments, renovation and restoration: a brightness that does not fade rapidly. Ceramic materials last for hundreds if not thousands of years. That certainly applies to a glazed brick.  

Everything is possible

You don’t have to feel limited by the 43 basic colours. Nearly all RAL colours can be realized on a project basis, whether or not with finishes such as pearl, metallic and glitter. Finishing with transparent glaze is also possible so that the underlaying brick colour remains visible.

Selecting the colour, brightness level and any extra effects of a glazed brick is just a first step. The shape of the brick is also crucial. Just like the brickwork bond and the jointing: All the details have to match to achieve the right effect.

Wienerberger likes to think with you in this intensive development track. We have acquired lots of knowledge and experience in developing our series of glazed bricks and in customized projects. Each project provides new information and valuable knowledge that we enjoy using in the next bright project.  

The solution exists or will be created together – consistent, in impeccable ceramic quality of Wienerberger.
