BRICK TINTING & COLOUR MATCHING

A highly effective, and cost-effective, technique of applying coloured pigments to match the colour of one area of brickwork to another or to another specified colour…

The popularity of Brick Tinting & Colour Matching is growing as people realise just how reliable, effective and cost-effective it is. The three main uses are:

• Matching new brickwork to the original – for example, on an extension or when areas of brickwork have had to be replaced
• Covering discrepancies between different batches of brick on new builds
• Changing the colour of brickwork for purely aesthetic reasons

COLOURED MORTAR

As for bricks, so for mortar…
Using coloured mortar goes as far back as the Roman times where different types of sandy Volcanic ash would be added to slaked lime, this would create hydraulic lime ready to build with. The colours back then were limited to white, grey, black and red, however with today’s technology a mortar of any colour is possible using a range of coloured pigments and minerals.
