Manufactured stone and clay brick co-exist in this shopping mall under-construction in Olathe, Kan. Different masonry types in the same wall or structure can pose a challenge for post-construction clean down.

A typical example of this is the Municipal Building of Edgewood, Ky., completed in 2006 (see page 22). This structure employs red and gray clay brick, cream-colored architectural block, cast stone and precast concrete. You've seen buildings like that, and you've likely worked on some as well.
Long gone are the days when masonry simply meant red clay brick and gray mortar only. Likewise, long gone are the days of "one-size-fits-all" post-construction cleaning of new masonry construction. Given the increased use of various masonry materials, cleaning that way now can mean disaster.
