We opted for the Urban One - Almond too. Because we wanted a lighter colored brick + we were using off-white mortar with flush joints .. it would look like a bagged finish from distance ..
I do agree that the quality isn't too great but seriously, its better than some really @%^# bricks at Austral... At the end of the day, bricks are outside, they can discolor or go nuts in the sun and rain, can't get them to stay brand new .. I guess I'll do a moroka/paint/bagged finish to the house in a few years and give it a new look anyways ..
Hi Guys,
We went for the Urban One range in their Olive colour. Was initially very nervous about the choice but they look great once up.
