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

  • If you want to change the style of your brick without completely covering them

  • There are concentrated areas of non-uniformed bricks

  • Your home is in need of tuckpointing
