Is it normal for brick mortar to crack?

• <div><p>Minor hairline cracks in mortar are normal over time. This is a natural occurrence as bricks settle. You should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cracked-brick-always-foundation-issue.htm">worry about cracks in brick</a> if you see vertical cracks that widen as they move up, stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, or deep horizontal cracks. These are all more serious signs of foundation damage.</p></div>

Q: Is cobblestone a real rock?

• <div><p>Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper. </p></div>

Q: Does limewash brick get dusty?

• <div><p>Yes, limewash on brick can accumulate dust over time. Its porous nature can attract dust particles, especially in environments with high levels of dust or dirt. Additionally, if the limewash surface is left unsealed, it may be more prone to collecting dust. Additionally, incorrectly applied limewash will generate dust. Causes include applying it too thickly instead of thin layers and not allowing enough drying time between layers. Regular maintenance, such as gentle cleaning or dusting, can help mitigate dusty issues. </p></div>

Q: What is the dimension of an average brick?

• <div><p>A traditional rectangular brick that is used for siding, brick walks, and pathways is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide. If you are shopping for fire bricks, the standard dimension is typically 9 inches long by 4.5 inches wide. </p></div>

Q: Is rock salt corrosive?

• <div><p>Rock salt and ice melts contain sodium chloride, aka salt, and are corrosive to metal and concrete. If used frequently over time, it can cause corrosion, discoloration, chipping, and cracking to patios, walkways, and driveways. You can try a rock salt alternative or hire a professional snow removal company instead. </p></div>
