ᐅ Which supplier offers light gray clinker bricks?

As mentioned above, the format is NF. What speaks against WDF for you? For us, so far, it is only the higher price, which is clearly too much.

Simply put: the structural wall is made from a material with a specific brick size, which is the basis for the planning. Accordingly, planners use grid increments in 12.5cm (5 inches) steps, or for aerated concrete blocks also in 10cm (4 inches) steps. If the facing masonry format does not match this (like WDF with 11cm (4.3 inches)), it causes fitting issues with all wall openings. The same applies to the height.

We are building as a cavity wall:
- Interior wall 15cm (6 inches) aerated concrete
- Then 16cm (6.3 inches) insulation
- Then 2cm (0.8 inches) air gap
- Then facing masonry in NF format

That adds up to a total of 44.5cm (17.5 inches) (also a non-standard dimension), but this only causes fitting challenges at the corners, or if the grid deviation is shifted inward, then none at all. For the structural wall (inner layer) there are some issues, but with aerated concrete you hardly notice it as it can be cut quickly.

In summary: your wall construction clearly requires traditional bricks rather than thin bricks; and their format matches NF, while special formats are for other applications (different wall materials, older buildings with different brick sizes).

Hello Sascha!

Since we are currently facing the same issue: which facing brick did you finally choose?
There is now a facing brick from Viebrockhaus called Wiesmoor Kohle-weiß, which is supposed to be very similar to the brick of the 425 model. What was the name of the 425 brick that is no longer available?
