Ibstock Brick Launches New Online Portfolio

Celebrating the company’s diverse and ever-increasing range of clay products, the new Portfolio from Ibstock - the ultimate reference guide for architects and designers building with brick and clay products - is now available online for the first time.

The extremely popular literature, which is now in its sixth edition, can be easily downloaded as a whole document, or by individual section. Online searches can also be performed in the document to enable architects and designers to quickly and simply locate the information they require.

The Portfolio includes Ibstock’s range of clay facing bricks, which is the biggest in the UK, as well as details on the company’s special shapes, eco-products and MMC solutions.

Andrew Halstead-Smith, marketing manager at Ibstock, commented: “Brick is a highly sustainable building material with unmatched aesthetics, which makes it extremely popular. We have such an extensive array of products and new innovations so it is essential that our literature is comprehensive, inspiring and easy to use.

“Taking it online was the next rational step and the new version includes a number of great features to help architects and designers simplify the specification process and get the most out of brick for their project.”

“This is why we continue to put all our efforts into ensuring that our industry leading literature showcases the best products and systems. The new online Portfolio is our flagship publication and includes everything architects and designers might ever need to know about specifying brick, all in one easy to use digital format.”

Also featured in this digital edition are details on European brick standards, Ibstock’s stance on sustainability and additions and deletions to the range.

The new Product Portfolio can be downloaded for free at www.ibstock.com.
