BrickSupport
Wienerberger's BrickSupport stands for various innovations in bricks and brick applications. It intends to inspire both architects and builders and offers solutionsdeveloped in close collaboration with all parties involved. Examples of BrickSupport are:

BrickSupport HSL
Glued brick façades are relatively smooth in form, colour intensive, strong and give a durable end result. However, Wienerberger still saw ways to improve the gluetechnique:BrickSupport HSL. It provides for a faster, smarter and more cost-efficientbuilding process with modular bricks. There are only 33 modules needed to cover a surface of one square meter opposed to ninety glued standard bricks.

BrickSupport Free2Build
Free2Build is the result of a partnership of Wienerberger and Oosthoek/Kemper, a Dutch construction company. These high-quality, two-leaf façade elements, are a combination of both tradition and innovation. The elements comprise a traditionalstructure: outer cavity wall  cavity  insulation- inner cavity wall. The elements areprovided with a unique mounting-system and a high quality finish. The cavity provide for better insulation properties. Free2Build is especially suitable for series production and has the benefits of prefab-building.

BrickSupport 1toBuild
1toBuild stands for one-leaf prefab brick elements. It also stands for new constructive and decorative possibilities with brick combined with the benefits of prefab building. The prefab elements are suitable for any design and can be easily connected to other elements of a façade, such as glass or steel constructions. Examples of the decorative possibilities are lamella-elements or elements with various bricks in relief. These can be reached by the use of specific moulds.

BrickSupport Special Shapes
These special bricks enable architects to create individual shapes, colours anddesigns. With the use of for example trapezium bricks, wave bricks, embossedbricks or podium bricks special light and shadow effects can be created. This provides for a unique façade with its own signature. One example of innovation in specialbrick is the Diabolo special shape brick. It is the result of a close collaboration between Wienerberger and Molenaar & Van Winden architects. Typical for the Diabolo brick are its two chamfered corners creating different light and shadow effects on the façade. The name Diabolo is based on the diabolo shape that is created when two Diabolo bicks are placed next to each other. Production of Diabolo takes place in the authentic chambered kiln in the factory of emmel. The flexibility of the production process ensures the possibility to create custom solutions .
