Hairline cracks in external bricks

Morph the Cat · 2013-07-04 12:31:26

Hi all, Please see attached photo. What would you recommend to seal up the bricks to stop this getting worse? I assume it's from weather; water freezing in cracks & expanding, etc. Cheers!

Thats the result of firing and the natural drying process on the cheaper type of brick. Doesn't effect its strength. Putting any sealer or paste on that will makes it far worse and it will look 'Orrible too.
