Above you see masons working on a brick sample, performing a technique called mortar washing. In recent years this has become a popular way of giving brick a look that is somewhere between painted brick and stucco. We worked with the masons to find the desired effacement, or brick exposure, for this French-eclectic-style home. We wanted a formality to the home with a wall that expresses age but is not rustic, so we elected to use a three step process of applying the mortar by trowel, brushing it clean, and then lightly rubbing the wall with a dry rag to expose some of the raised corners of the brick. We really love the sample and are excited about seeing the wall completed.
Brick Veneer is a good material to decorate the building,and it is easy to install on the wall.
