Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 28, 2012 8:57 pm Hi We have been away and since arriving home our brickwork has been completed. I have noticed that a lot of the bricks have chips on the edges. We upgraded to the Austral Symmetry Earth Brick and its a full colour through the brick. We have noticed that they had had to discard a massive amount of bricks and also had to order more, so I don't know if its an Austral problem with the earth bricks. In the estate there are 3 other houses with the same brick and they also have the same issue. I have also looked at houses that have other colours of the symmetry blend and they don't seem to have the problem only the earth brick. What is considered acceptable? We paid 5K to upgrade these bricks. Re: Austral Symmetry Earth - Bad Batch??? - advice please 2Feb 07, 2012 12:43 pm bump? Anyone have this problem?
