ᐅ Röben Aarhus White-Grey Facing Bricks: Manufacturing Defect or Second-Grade Material?

Hello everyone,

We chose the Röben Aarhus white-grey NF facing brick for our house. Overall, we were satisfied. However, when we compared our brick with other houses in the neighborhood, we noticed that ours looks "different." Our brick appears darker, and the colors don’t seem consistent.

We suspect this might be due to the white spots on the bricks, which could possibly make the bricks look darker. Or maybe we were accidentally delivered the wrong bricks, perhaps Aarhus grey-multicolor? The pallets are labeled white-grey, though. Can something like this happen?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

At the top of the pictures, you can see our bricks. At the bottom, you’ll see another property. I will also add comparison photos showing the brick with mortar applied.

In the pictures, it really looks quite different.

Do you think so? I don’t find the comparison representative at all.
Different lighting conditions (sunny, shaded) mean the joints really define what a brick ultimately looks like: its appearance.
Then there’s also the blur effect.
What you can see of the texture seems quite similar.

Basically, I can’t agree at all with statements like this one:

Why compare if you are actually satisfied?

I prefer your brickwork better.

Here are a few more comparison photos of a house where the mortar has already been applied.

And these are now photos of a single house, found by you, where you know exactly what was ordered and delivered?
