Modern Center City condos demand authentic brick aesthetics without full masonry weight loads. Our veneer systems use interlocking clips and breathable membranes for weathertight performance. We source from local brickyards producing thin formats that match colonial-era dimensions.
Special attention goes to window flashings and expansion joints in high-rises. For Northern Liberties lofts, we'll distress new brick to blend with existing factory walls. Every project includes mockup panels for client approval before full installation.
