When choosing classic masonry, the joint color plays a crucial role in the final look of the facade, often making up 10-20% of the surface. Here’s an overview of common joint colors and their effects:
- Grey: The most neutral color, providing contrast up close but blending with the bricks from a distance.
- Black: Increasingly popular, black joints offer a warmer effect with certain brick colors.
- White: Enhances the lines of the joints, refreshing and intensifying the brick’s color.
- Coloring on Coloring: Creates an even surface with minimal contrast between the joint and brick.
Tip: Always test samples on-site before finalizing your choice, as the surroundings and architecture can influence the result. If mixing mortar on-site, ensure consistency to avoid color discrepancies.
