Problem

In need of interior brick masonry walls that would match original building construction along the corridor.

The CCR Solution

We sourced sample matched brick and mortar to match existing. We conducted a series of mortar samples that had the same properties and the same pigment as original for best match. We used a combination of recycled brick from the Mart and mixed it in with recycled brick purchased that was close in color and density to that of the original. This resulted in a close to perfect match.
