Citizens First Plaza - Bowling Green, KY

Down in Bowling Green (KY), the local Lee Brick and Block office supplied Simon Masonry, also of Bowling Green with these Marion Ceramic 300-Tavern Flash, from their (thin brick) Vee Brick line.

The Marion Ceramic website explains the use of thin brick for veneers like this:

” The use of thin brick veneer masonry has evolved over many years. Traditionally, thin brick have been installed in the same way as ceramic wall tile (i.e. on to a vertical substrate which could be masonry or interior or exterior stud wall - steel or wood). These types of installations continue to be used with the coursing of the veneer brick being set by a metal rack nailed to the wall, spacers or the rope method. Ceramic tile installation requirements should be followed for these types of installations. “

This renovation project was designed by The CFP Group, LLC, an architectural firm from Nashville (TN) and constructed by Scott, Murphy and Daniel, LLC, a Bowling Green based General Contractor.

The thin brick veneer was attached using the Loxon Panel Attachment System, from Universal Brick Systems.

Natural grey and Camelia red lightweight concrete splitface units were used, along with Lehigh’s natural grey mortar.

Here’s a closeup of the red splitface units and you can click on any of the photos to enlarge them to a full-screen view.
