The range of clamp-fired bricks has been extended at Chailey with the launch of the Cooksbridge Yellow Clamp Stock (A4512A). This new colour has been added to meet a specific market requirement for a traditional yellow stock to match existing building in urbanized areas in parts of Ireland and the South East of England. However the brick is ideal for new build where a designer is looking to use a traditional material to give warmth and character.
