    Material selection guide

    See color, texture, and mortar together

    Use photographs to explore, then compare physical samples for your final selection.

    Move from a sample to a finished example

    A close-up helps you see texture. A finished installation helps you compare the overall appearance. Manufacturer photography is labeled throughout this site; it is an example to discuss rather than a record of a Krebs project.

    Include mortar in the conversation

    Mortar is part of the finished look. Ask the team to help you compare the material with the mortar color and joint appearance you are considering. Review a physical sample or project sample panel with your builder or installer.

    Make the final decision in person

    Screen colors, lighting, and the surrounding materials can change what you see. Bring photographs and samples of adjacent finishes, save your preferred options, and confirm the actual material before making a final selection.

    Selection guidance helps you prepare a conversation. Confirm technical requirements and installation details with your builder or installer and the applicable manufacturer documents.
