Ibstock Brick Updates Popular Brick Selector to Include Innovative New Manor Range

Following the overwhelming success of its popular ‘Brick Selector’ guides, Ibstock Brick (ibstock.com) has released a new issue of this comprehensive, inspirational and easy to follow guide to brick matching and brick selection from the UK’s widest range of clay facing bricks.

Now in its fourth edition, Ibstock’s new ‘Brick Selector’ is full of more awe inspiring and creative ideas to help professional builders, self-builders and the general public get inventive with brick.

A key focus for the latest instalment of the company’s flagship brochure is Ibstock’s new ‘Manor Range’ – the most recent extension to the company’s industry leading collection of bricks. A striking range of bricks specifically designed to replicate traditional finishes from the past, the new Manor Range is manufactured using specially developed manufacturing equipment to give a unique finish.

The range consists of five new products, four red and one buff, enabling architects and housebuilders to create fascinating streetscape for any development, helping buildings to seamlessly sit perfectly within their environment.

Andrew Halstead-Smith, marketing manager at Ibstock, commented: “Since the launch of the ‘Brick Selector’ back in 2009, each of the three previous editions has drawn a remarkable response from our customers – so the decision to produce a fourth edition of what has proven to be one of, if not our most popular brochures, was a real no-brainer.

“The fourth edition is as ever extremely easy to use and we are thrilled to showcase to our customers the very latest bricks Ibstock has to offer - the exciting new ‘Manor Range’ - which blends together the old with the new to create properties that offer kerb appeal.”

This edition also features the very latest information on the sustainability of brick, as well as improved index pages with even more technical information including pack sizes to make ordering the right quantities even easier.
