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.
