If not is the austral paint an option? Re: NEED HELP - BRICKLAYERS USED 2 DIFFERENT COLORED BRICKS 16Nov 07, 2007 2:31 pm chellekobe The brick company have flat out refused to render because they are in the brick game not the rendering game. They want their product on display not covered up. Sounds like excuses to avoid rectifying the problem. Ask them why they want their crap work on display. Anyway, it's upto your builder to organise the render. That's the only party you should have to deal with.

That's the only party you should have to deal with. I don't think I would be satisfied with the suggestions. I know it's not the home builders fault, but you are paying him to build your house, not the brick company. The home builder should be rectifying it....considering rendering costs $10,000 or so, thats a lot to ask, but you're in a real pickle!!! Our Adenbrook home was completed in September. Re: NEED HELP - BRICKLAYERS USED 2 DIFFERENT COLORED BRICKS 18Nov 07, 2007 3:20 pm we have spoken to our solictor and i have come up with what i hope is a plan.
I am going to get my solictor to draw up a contract that states the following 1. Austral Bricks goes ahead with the nawkaw brickstaining process. 2. Once completed i get an individual house inspector to inspect Before and after the work has been completed. 3. if inspector says yes the house looks great and can't see any difference than i will sign off on the contract but state if at anytime the process fades or discolors or anything goes wrong, in the 25year lifetime warranty. They will tear down the outerwall at there expense and rebrick it. 4. If inspector says NO it still looks like crap they have to tear it down and rebrick it. or 5. They render it at their expense and we forget about the whole nasty situation. plus a little sumpin sumpin for screwing us over. Does this sound like a fair comprimise to all you guys or am i asking too much. Re: NEED HELP - BRICKLAYERS USED 2 DIFFERENT COLORED BRICKS 19Nov 07, 2007 3:33 pm I think that sounds ok. I reckon that the inspector will find the job satisfactory....I think you getting it rendered is pretty slim, thats way too much money.
What a bad situation! Our Adenbrook home was completed in September. Re: NEED HELP - BRICKLAYERS USED 2 DIFFERENT COLORED BRICKS 20Nov 07, 2007 3:42 pm Because the house is bearer and joist the back slopes away so its going to cost them heaps to put up scaffolding, pay for the staining and labour as they have to make sure they tape up the mortar and paint every brick individually. At nearly $70 m2 this will cost them just about as much as rendering will. We got that straight from the Brick REP. I just dont have enough faith that anything apllied paint/stain or otherwise is not going to need touching up every 5-10 years. I know that happens with rendering but at least i'll know how to deal with that. This staining process is complicated as it can take a few applications to get it right. yep you need a joint, foam is easiest, will look fine once rendered with a joint. 2 5234 Hi, have purchased a house with 2 single garage doors.
