I really like that! More durable than wood trellis...and more pricey I'm sure. But I'm in Arizona and this will stand up to the harsh desert sun. I'll definitely look into it when I get my permanent place.👍🏻
Hi there! Terracotta breeze blocks, being clay-based, are porous, making them susceptible to staining during grouting. To avoid this issue, it is recommended to seal the blocks before grouting. Here's how you can do it: While it's not mandatory, we suggest using Penetrating Sealant to preserve the natural clay appearance. Apply the sealer by rolling or brushing it onto ONLY the front and back of the blocks, ensuring to avoid the top, bottom, and sides. Allow the sealer to dry completely before continuing with the installation process. Don't forget to seal the blocks, especially if they will be exposed to freezing conditions, as this will help preserve their appearance and structural integrity over time. Clay Imports also offers a penetrating sealant. Check our website: clayimports.com/products/penetrating-sealant
