PROBLEM: |
I have brick on my home where the brick ends on the corners are a different color. It looks like there is no coating on some of the brick. Can this be repaired? |
DESCRIPTION: |
The problem description indicates you may have a Used
Effect Brick on your home. These are usually called UEB Brick. UEB
brick are reprocessed with a colored cement slurry after they are
fired. The brick are suppose to simulate an old salvaged brick; therefore,
the coatings are supposed to be irregularly applied. The picture below is an example of this type of problem. Note the extremely red brick near the top of the photograph. |

SOLUTION: |
