Inconsistent colour between batches

Mortar staining on brick faces

Clean mortar stains as soon as possible after application using a soft brush and water, or a suitable brick cleaner if necessary. Avoid excessive scrubbing.

Damage to sandfaced finish during installation

Handle bricks carefully. Use appropriate tools and techniques during laying and cutting. Avoid dropping or dragging bricks.
