Solution: This large auto repair facility in Onalaska, WI, stands out in the busy commercial district that surrounds it. The lower band of exterior wall along its public entryway is clad in a waist-high running bond of long, handsome, slate-hued concrete bricks. They provide an attractive complement to the clean horizontal lines of gun metal grey that rise above them.
A Body Shop with a Professional Polish
Dahl ABRA Auto Body & Glass is located in a sea of retail stores, medical clinics, and fast food restaurants on the outskirts of Onalaska, Wisconsin. A sizeable, multi-story auto repair facility, its public-facing entryway conveys the professionalism and polish that the company’s mechanics bring to the vehicles they repair.
A waist-high running bond of handsome Heritage Collection™ Designer Concrete Bricks borders the exterior base of the entryway. Slate-colored with contrasting mortar, they reflect the corrugated gun metal grey walls that rise horizontally above them. Additionally, the bricks’ precise, slender shape resonates with the clean, sharp lines of the building itself.
The result is a sophisticated but approachable appearance that greets customers seeking peace of mind and skilled assistance with their damaged vehicles.
