Corbel † a type
of inverted plinth,
generally located at
the higher levels of a
building to create a
feature. A typical
example is quarter
bonded headers as a
detail below window
openings.

Dentil Coursing † a variation on continuous corbelling where
alternative headers project. This is sometimes referred to as table
corbelling.

Dog Toothing † a variation on a dentil course created by setting
the feature bricks at 45°.

Note: Cavity insulated as required.
