Brick Façade Restoration

Bob gets an update on the status of the brick façade restoration. Replacement bricks have been aged and roughed up with a grinder, lending them an antique appearance prior to installation. In addition, approved pigments have been added to the brick.

Clip Summary

Bob meets with Allan Cox from Nawkaw Corporation to discuss the replacement bricks, which have been aged and roughed up with a grinder, lending them an antique appearance prior to installation.

This process also de-glosses the surface of the brick, so pigments can be added. After three attempts, the New York City Landmarks Commission approved the coloring.

To further conform to the Commission's requests, sand dust must be sprayed into the finish to refract additional light.
