Ibstock, the UK’s largest brick maker, has further enhanced its broad product range with the launch of the new Northumbrian Castle range of bricks.
Ideal for housebuilders and developers seeking to create attractive street scenes that blend well together, the Northumbrian Castle range provides an exciting new brick option for the marketplace.
Available in four colour blends, the range’s development is based on a new texture that sees colours vary from brick to brick, as opposed to colour variance across individual bricks. The random weathering effect gives a light but natural look to finished brickwork, creating a distinctive, attractive and uniform kerb appeal.
Stewart Morton, Ibstock product manager, says the launch of the Northumbrian Castle range offers a flexible solution, whatever the project: “Developing the same texture across the brick range makes it ideal for use across a large scheme where the developer is looking to create attractive street scenes that blend well together from property to property.
"Manufactured at our Throckley factory in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, we have taken inspiration from the local area for the product range and the four colour options are named after some of the famous castles found in the North of England – Alnwick, Chillingham, Dilston and Morpeth.”
Each of the products in the Northumbrian Castle range can also be used on a stand-alone basis and specified across smaller developments or in apartment schemes, where architects can have confidence that choosing from the Northumbrian Castle Range can deliver the result they want.
Stewart Morton concludes: “The product’s target geographical area is in northern England and Scotland, and as a locally-produced rang e of bricks adds another attractive, high performing brick option for the regional house-building market in these parts of the country. We are confident the market will embrace the Northumbrian Castle range with enthusiasm.”
