Tradesman™ Antique

To provide a more improved service to our builders merchant customers, the TradesmanTM Antique is launched from Atlas. This product replaces the Tradesman Textured within the promoted Tradesman range. This range is now totally manufactured at Atlas in the West Midlands, enabling customers to take mixed loads of the full range of six products from a central manufacturing location.

The Tradesman Antique is a full durable, red multi product with a heavy indented texture, ideally suited to refurbishment and extension projects on many post-war housing developments.

Betley Cottage Blend

Nowadays it is key that brickwork blends in with the local vernacular and the Betley Cottage Blend has been developed specifically with this in mind. With colours simulating a weathered reclaimed red stock, the product is ideally suited to small-medium higher value infill and edge-of-town housing developments where planners are insisting that the appearance of the development blends in with existing buildings.

The product is particularly targeted at higher value, niche developments in the North West and North Midlands, but would blend in with most streetscapes throughout the country.

Parham Light Multi Stock

The Parham Light Multi Stock, a predominantly red stock brick with flashes of light tan and beige, has been developed as a totally differentiated brick, both from the rest of the Laybrook range and the Ibstock range of stock bricks. With its lighter colouring, the Parham Light Multi Stock is suited to residential and commercial developments where designers are looking to create a predominantly red streetscape but with a contemporary feel, especially in London and the Southern counties.

The product is fully durable and can be used in most brickwork situations.

New Fireborn products

To complement the Fireborn range, three new products have been added; the Fireborn Natural Grey, Fireborn Textured Red and the Fireborn Textured Cream. All three products are available in standard format sizes as well as Fireborn Freedom and Fireborn Max.
