16.01.2022 House extensions can look seamless with some planning and time spent sourcing the manufacturer of bricks used during construction for the original house. Taking old samples and selecting new bricks to best match them. This photo shows new bricks on the left side of control joint ( black vertical line foam filled to allow movement) . We carried out some test samples of different motar mixes to find the ideal match of sand and cement to recreate the original color. This job is only a week old and will continue drying and end up even closer to original brickwork. This type of extension is also known as a "mirror extension" A little harder to recreate but well worth the effort.
