Troubleshooting

Bricks appear to have efflorescence (white, powdery deposits).

Efflorescence is common in new brickwork. It typically disappears over time due to weathering. Avoid excessive water exposure during the initial curing phase.

Bricks are not aligning correctly.

Ensure the foundation is level and accurately measure and cut the bricks as needed. Check your bricklaying technique.

The colour of the bricks is not consistent.

Slight variations in colour are natural due to the manufacturing process. Blend bricks from different packs to distribute any variations.
