coins and ribbons






Here's some bricking terminology for you. The brick trim around the windows and doors are called "ribbons". We have a triple ribbon on all our front windows and doors and a double ribbon around the sides and back ones. We were really impressed with the ribbon work done today...our guys did this layering ribbon effect where each ribbon sticks out a little further than the next one. It looks incredible! We've never seen it done quite like that before. Then on the corners of the house there are "coins". This is where there are little brick squares that stick out a little bit further than the rest. Here are a few pics of our ribbon and coins. Also a few of just the shear amount of brick work that got done today!
