(openPR) - Continuing to go the extra mile for merchants, leading brick manufacturer, Ibstock, has extended its literature with a new brochure for its popular Funton range of yellow stock bricks, which are aimed specifically at new and infill housing in London and the South East.

Made using brickearth dug from fields overlooking the Medway, Ibstock’s range of Funton bricks are fired in a chamber kiln to give them a unique golden yellow colour that is so characteristic of the London streetscape.

As well as being a favoured choice for new builds, the range also includes weathered, as well as darker bricks, which are available in imperial sizes so that they can blend in with existing brickwork on refurbishment projects.

The popular Funton range is made at Ibstock’s Ashdown factory, which gives the stockist the option of ordering mixed loads of bricks from the factory’s extensive range. This can prove much more cost effective where smaller quantities of particular bricks are required.

For further information on Ibstock’s Funton Range, call 0844 800 4875 for a brochure. Alternatively visit www.ibstock.com for all the latest news.

The company was also awarded the apprentice of the year award for the second year running, won the Civic Award for Best Public Building, won 9 awards at the Ceramic Industry Health and Safety Awards, and was presented with the Industry Innovation Award at the British Ceramic Industry Awards.
