The shortlisted projects for the BDA Awards were announced recently and Ibstock has again had another outstanding year with 18 projects being shortlisted in the 11 categories.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony in London on Wednesday 8th November.

The Chesham Handmade Multi and the Romsey Handmade Multi are red multi-coloured bricks exhibiting a broad colour band randomly distributed both across each brick and within the mix, typical of traditional handmade bricks. The range of colour replicates that seen in many brick-built traditional buildings in central Southern counties, the Romsey Handmade Multi having a deeper handmade texture and the Chesham Handmade Multi having a flatter texture.

The Chichester Handmade Pastone is a deeper creased handmade brick exhibiting a traditional range of random colour distribution from tan through to beige. This brick readily creates traditional brickwork of distinction.

To complement our refurbishment range, the following products are now also available in 73mm format, Ainsdale Weathered, Worsley Weathered, Oldcott Rustic and Worsley Blend from Ravenhead together with the Albany Cream Multi and the Barley Golden Multi from Roughdales.

A new colour has been added to the Tilebrick range - the Sandfaced Red Multi.
