Olde Wealden Multi launched by Wienerberger
New addition to the Desimpel range

The handformatic Desimpel brick range from Wienerberger has been extended once again with the launch of the Olde Wealden Multi. This rich red stock brick, with grey hearting created during the firing process, is ideal for creating a traditional facade.

Although made using modern production methods, each is individually moulded and has a handcrafted appearance with a rustic, creased texture. Handformatic bricks offer specifiers a heritage-style finish with all the benefits of uniform sizes and a guaranteed supply of product.

Aimed mainly at the new homes market, the Olde Wealden Multi is the latest addition to the now 20-strong Desimpel portfolio and offers yet another colour choice for specifiers of heritage style products, among whom the range is particularly popular. Following Wienerberger's incorporation of Desimpel in March 2010, the world's biggest brick manufacturer vowed to build on its success with the development of new products and recently included the addition of the Olde Horsham, the Olde Cranleigh Multi and the Olde Henfield Multi.

Manufactured at Wienerberger's Warnham works in West Sussex, the new brick also has inbuilt sustainability credentials, helping housebuilders to meet the requirements of the Code for Sustainable Homes. Bricks produced at Warnham were first in the UK to be awarded the BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing standard when the factory was assessed in 2010, and the Olde Wealden Multi is currently undergoing the accreditation process.
