Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation involves standard bricklaying techniques using appropriate mortar mixes. Because these are facing bricks, it is essential to keep the faces clean during the build to prevent mortar staining. For best results, clean off excess mortar before it fully sets. When calculating quantity, include an allowance for wastage, typically 5-10% depending on the complexity of the project. Storage should be on a level, dry surface, protected from ground moisture. While these bricks are highly durable, minimal maintenance is required beyond periodic inspection of mortar joints to maintain the integrity of the masonry wall over decades of exposure to the elements.
