It is typically laid over a base in a running bond, with soldier courses at towers or cornices, and many bonds are unsuitable for veneer due to wall narrowness and required brick cutting.

It highlights architects using brick for both exterior walls and interior finishes, reflecting appreciation for its artistic potential.
