warped
Explanation:
I am not sure this is it, because warped bricks are not really a good quality, although that seems to fit the rest of the description of the bricks (http://www.wienerberger.be/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Wiener...
I couldn't find any reference on Sindy's shrunken bricks so I found this.

Warpage: (...) This irregular loss of moisture causes differential shrinkage that leads to warping of the bricks.

shrunken bricks


Explanation:
De stenen zijn wat gekrompen. Hoe hoger ze gebakken worden hoe meer de klei krimpt.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Tina Vonhof: That would be the translation of "kromme". // Ik denk dat het 'kromme, gekrompen stenen' zijn, dwz. die door het krimpen kromgetrokken zijn.
20 mins
  -> Mee eens, ik denk dat het een 'herhaling' is...//warped, shrunk bricks....dus afgeleid van samengetrokken? Of kromgetrokken? Shrunk bricks ipv shrunken zie ik een paar keer op ggl. Maar dan hebben ze het over shrinkage before baking.
agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: VDale - getrokken: van vorm veranderd door krimping of uitzetting (hier bewust door ongelijkmatige verhitting) Is weer iets nieuws: in plaats van keurig in de vouw, degelijk denim met hier en daar een slijtplek. Normaal als er zo'n kromme tussen zit, weg!
5 hrs
  -> Bedankt Barend. Waarom heeft VD een armzalige electronische versie gemaakt? Het staat inderdaad in m'n gedrukte uitgave.
