Banding

Banding (also known as string coursing) is often used as a transition piece in masonry construction. It is one of the most cost-effective ways to add style and elegance to any masonry structure and is designed to integrate with common brick sizes.

Door/Window Surrounds

Door and window surrounds add a formal flair to any masonry structure.

The style of the building becomes an integral part of choosing surrounds that best fit the structure. Contemporary modern designs as well as classic traditional surrounds are available to fit any project need.

Jack Arches

Beautifully cut jack arches add definition to any window or door surround. These building elements are a very cost-effective way to reflect the personal style of your project. Jack arches are designed for either two or three-piece installation. When combined with jambs and a sill, jack arches make a stunning statement.

Keystones

Keystones originated as the final wedge-shaped piece that held together a stone arch. Today, they are still used in that manner or can be used individually as an accent piece above any window or door opening. Adding a keystone gives a clean polished look to any commercial or residential structure.

Quoins

Simple and classic, quoins create a wonderful visual contrast to masonry veneer. These can be installed one on top of the other or divided by another form of exterior cladding.

Sills

Sills are the most basic of architectural elements that can be added to any project while giving it plenty of styles. Slip sills are the same width as the masonry opening while lug sill project out from the window allowing for the installation of a full surround.
