German Smear - Rustic Finish
This particular style takes great planning and vision to accomplish correctly. In this situation, pictured to the right, this home had “window blocks” of miscolored and mismatched bricks in distinguishable spots throughout the home. We planned accordingly to make these areas blend in with the rest of the house while allowing the original bricks to still be visible.
The benefits of this German Smear style are
Provides an aged “Rustic” look for your home
Creates uniformity on an otherwise non-uniform surface
Brightens up the brick and provides character
Solidifies and adds to the structural integrity of your home
Doubles as a Tuckpointing solution
When to go with this German Smear style
