A sack finish is a hand-applied mortar wash that gives brick a soft, aged, and textured appearance—ideal for creating a timeless, custom look. This finish blends the color of the mortar with the brick to create a more muted, cohesive surface. The level of coverage can range from light and rustic to heavier and more uniform, depending on your preference.
Because this is a hand-applied finish, the final appearance is highly subjective and can vary in texture and coverage. For this reason, it is essential that the homeowner is present onsite during application to consult directly with the brick mason and confirm the desired look.
A sack finish adds character and depth to a home’s exterior—but it’s the shared vision between homeowner and mason that brings it to life.
