Types of joints

Flush Joint: Mortar is applied smoothly and flush with the brickwork for an even surface, often with colored mortar for emphasis.

Flush Brushed Joint: Mortar is applied and brushed off for a rougher, textured joint, adding character to the facade.

Weather Struck Joint: Mortar is recessed at a 45° angle, creating a shadow effect that highlights horizontal lines.

Recessed Joint: Mortar is applied deeper than the facade, emphasizing horizontal lines, especially with vertical or no head joints.

Raked Joint: Mortar is pressed inwards, creating a recessed shadow that adds depth and a clean appearance.

Convex Joint: Mortar is applied and brushed for a textured joint that adds character and requires more expertise.
