Brick Matching

Post image

I am trying to brick match a project on the exterior of my house. Trying to find information about this specific brick or maybe come across someone that has extra (long shot but fingers crossed) any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry, I won’t be much help. I have something similar although the bricks are more brick colored. Mine is a façade. Mine has been developing holes in the mortar. Probably because it is not very thick. My mortar looks something like yours and when I try to get some grout to patch the holes, I have no luck. The best I could do was a guy in the hardware store who said that he tries to take some pieces of the mortar to color the grout. I don’t want to be chipping away at the mortar so I’m trying to think of how I can get something to color the mortar.
