    Which brick you suggest with Mortar, please help me in choosing. I am a new home buyer, its for two storey home

    ^Right…maybe 2 or 3 from your list but not 60+. Also, photos of the bricks can can be very iffy without seeing in person.

    Yes, definitely if you go with brick, choose a mortar that will match or at least harmonize well.

    Prefer to choose highland gray or mocha brown antique

    Suggest mortar color for this please

    Nothing in chosen in a vacuum. Post up pictures of the home. What other finishes will there be? All brick? Other siding? Roof color? House style? Window? Trim? Etc., etc., etc.

    Colors should NEVER be chosen from photos. You need actual samples.

    A home is multiple elements as above.

    Roof, Windows, door, fascia, brick or other cladding.

    There is no possible way to advise an answer minus seeing a WHOLE picture.

    You need to see samples of your own selections in one place, in person, and all together. Not haphazardly chosen online.

    Is the exterior going to be all brick, or is there also going to be stone and/or siding? This is why people are hoping for pictures or at least a rendering of your home to see the whole exterior. What is the roof color going to be? All of the elements need to go together.


    Does your builder have other completed homes you can look at? Maybe someone else has already chosen something you like and you can do the same thing (as long as that home is not going to be in view of yours). Does the builder have a design center where you could get help with making these choices? There are hundreds of choices to make when building a new home. This is unlikely to be the first decision you will have to make that will be difficult. You should look for someone local to help you with everything. If the builder doesn't have a design center, ask him/her if s/he can recommend someone.

    Only exterior is brick

    If you go to brick.com/vm you can see house elevations with all of Acme's brick, and change the mortar color. There is a new feature that allows side-by-side comparison of the same house with two different brick or the same brick with two mortar colors.

    AGAIN!! Nothing in chosen in a vacuum. Post up pictures of the home. What other finishes will there be? All brick? Other siding? Roof color? House style? Window? Trim? Etc., etc., etc.

    You have chosen brick. You want us to pick a mortar.

    No.

    Unless you are too far from the house? You ask the builder to have his mason make you a couple sample boards, representing his buff or beige selection, EACH.

    You go look at the big boards, and you decide.

  • 2 years ago

    Please suggest mortar color. Builder has shown homes with buff mortar but designer suggests Mansory Gray mortar.

    You are not listening

    Designer suggests Masonry Gray

    You are asking US to select based on online images, which we are telling you not to do, either!

    Have a sample board made both

    Your eyes, in person.....with the "designer" at the site of the home which is one that looks like WHAT??!!!
