white mortar question

5 years ago

Does anyone have white mortar on dark brick for the exterior of your home?
If so, are you happy with it or does it show dirt easily and look dirty?
My builder accidentally put gray grout instead of white. I definitely like the white look better, but wanted to make sure I wasn’t making a mistake before I asked them to redo it! Thanks so much

White white?? Hmmm.

You mighta got lucky. I would ask for a reasonable discount because they got it wrong but I would not make them redo it.

White mortar, so they use white sand. It’s not bright white but it’s white. Yea, waiting to see what kind of discount they can offer.. Also considering the “German smear” look. Thank you!

The top is what I picked out and the bottom is what I got.. I’m looking into the German smear or lime wash..
