New Exclusives Range from Ibstock Brick

Online, September 23, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Adding a new dimension to building design in the UK, the new 'Exclusives Range' from leading brick manufacturer, Ibstock (http://www.ibstock.com), has been specifically developed to offer architects and specifiers exciting and inspirational bricks that are like nothing else currently on the market.

With each brick carefully selected for the collection due to its unique colour and texture the Exclusives Range from Ibstock is guaranteed to help make any building extra special.

This innovative collection of bricks is split into three distinct ranges; Woodland Shades, Modern Hues and Running Waters. Bricks in the Woodland Shades range feature a combination of colours from nature, with specifically developed textures which are achieved by using sawdust instead of sand as a release during the manufacturing process to give a shadowed appearance.

The Modern Hues range features precisely formed bricks that have been coupled with strong and dynamic mineral colour tones, while the Running Waters range features bricks with bold shading and a soft sheen that adds a unique vibrancy to any facade.

Andrew Halstead-Smith, marketing manager at Ibstock, commented: "Architects and specifiers are always on the lookout for products that will give them that unique edge and make their projects stand out from the crowd.

"As such, we decided to develop a new range of bricks that would help them to create even more visually distinctive and memorable buildings. By exploring the bricks within our Exclusives Range, architects and specifiers will be able to discover colours and textures that really turn heads."
