Raked Soldier Detailing

Crafting intricate details in brickwork can elevate the design of a building, and one of the most striking elements is the raked soldier detail. This design feature is known for its clean lines and sharp angles, adding a level of sophistication and artistry to any structure. Our team recently completed a stunning example of a raked soldier detail on a building that reaches three stories high, demonstrating both the skill and precision required for such an intricate installation.

What is a Raked Soldier Detail?

A raked soldier detail involves a row of bricks laid vertically at an angle, creating a striking, sharp-edged look. This design is often used as a decorative feature along the top of walls, windows, or doors, but can also be a focal point of a building’s facade. The unique angle of the bricks creates shadows and light play, giving the structure added depth and texture.

This particular installation was done three stories high, requiring both skill and care to achieve the perfect finish. The precise arrangement of each brick had to be perfect to ensure the integrity and appearance of the feature.
