In today’s blog, we’ll take a closer look at our brick display stands. They’re a great way to showcase a variety of products and are a great example of how we can provide display solutions to meet any requirement.

Cementing Attention
In retail, or just about whenever you’re in the business of selling, it doesn’t matter how brilliant your product is, if no one knows about it.
How can people buy something if they aren’t aware of it?
That’s why, in a busy, sensory-overloading environment such as a builder’s merchant, you need a display solution that stands out! It needs to grab the attention of potential buyers and make it easy for them to see everything that’s on offer.
That’s why you need a bespoke product display, such as our brick display stands. These in particular offer an insight into how we at Ashford Retail Services can either supply a display solution- or create one ourselves, depending on your requirements.
Here’s why you’ll love our brick display stands, and other display solutions:
They Stand Out
When you’re faced with an entire 4m high wall of products displayed on retail racking, spreading as far and wide as the eye can see, it’s difficult for a single product to stick out from the rest. It can also be difficult, as a buyer, to find the product you’re looking for among the sea of similar and related options.
Our brick display stands counter this issue with ease. As they’re designed specifically to display bricks, they can be placed prominently, on their own, away from other distractions- to showcase your top sellers.
What’s more, because they’re accessible at ground level, customers can quickly get to grips and handle the product, to really feel the quality and understand what they’re buying.
A Range of Displays
The most popular brick display stands we supply are either a display wall, a portable display stand or an external display stand.
With the portable stand, the front and back hold physical examples of your favourite masonry products and the flat sides can be used to hang smaller sample sections to showcase a larger quantity of products in a smaller amount of space.
These areas can also be used to display promotional material or pricing information.

The display walls do a fantastic job of displaying flat sample tiles of bricks, which can be removed by the customer and even taken off to their site for colour matching. Though these walls do take up a lot of space, customers find them really valuable, and they often result in more bricks being sold! Check out our Selco project “The Brick Store”.

External displays are versions of the above two options that are designed to withstand the elements outside. They are great for use when internal space is at a premium, yet outside space is underutilised.

Large Volume Options
Our brick display stands can be scaled up or down easily, according to your requirements. While our popular option has space for 30 different brick styles, you can easily scale this up with a larger unit to double, triple capacity or more.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for a slightly more portable solution, or just one that slots into a smaller space, we can happily and easily scale the design down.
Highly Portable
Rarely in retail does a display area remain the same for long. Buyer trends, new and improved products, or general refurbs can all mean that the displays need shuffling or re-organising.
With a fixed brick display stand, this might be an issue. With our portable solution, however, you needn’t worry. They’re designed to be easily moved using a pallet truck, even when fully loaded.
This means you can place your products exactly where you want them- then if you change your mind, or it’s just not practical anymore, just lift it up and wheel it to the next position. It couldn’t be simpler.
Custom Finishes
In retail, establishing and maintaining your strong brand identity is crucial- so you’ll be pleased to know that our brick display stands can be finished in whatever colour you choose. Keep it natural, for a rustic look- or we can finish it in robust non-scuff paint to give it a more slick appearance. If you really wanted to, we could clad the finished unit in steel chequer plate, for a truly industrial look!
These aesthetics, and any other factors, can be discussed at the design stage. If you fancy a re-brand or freshen up, that’s simple too, with minimal prep required. Just make sure it’s clean and not dusty or greasy and you’re good to go!
We use easily sourced paints and finishes, so if you do unfortunately bump or scrape your display unit, you can promptly give it a touch up. They can be cleaned easily too- normally a simple hoovering will suffice, however they can also be wiped clean to remove more stubborn or ingrained dirt.
Absolute Versatility
The simplicity of our display stands is also their strength. They can be used to display all manner of products, tiles for instance. Because they’re designed to be strong enough to hold bricks and other masonry products, you can be sure that they’ll withstand just about anything.
Once again, this means that come the inevitable refit or redirection from head office, you can adapt your display stand to showcase anything you need it to.
