Hello,

I just inspected the shell of my house. I noticed cracks in the bricks and took some photos.

My question is: do bricks with cracks need to be replaced?

Thank you and best regards

No way! You are building with individual bricks anyway. One of them has now been split into two halves.

This is completely normal; I don’t think I’ve ever seen a shell construction where it was different.

Just to clarify right away: black bricks are normal too. They occur during firing and are nothing to worry about.
