I'm installing brick veneer over cement board instead of drywall to avoid any related issues, but I'm running into a styling dilemma. I want to know the best way to cover the gap that will be left between the drywall and the cement board alongside the ending of the brick veneer. I plan to leave the edge visible, rather than turning the corner. Any creative tips or suggestions on how to finish this look would be greatly appreciated!

When it comes to brick veneer, I usually suggest using a consistent piece on both sides to create a seamless, three-dimensional look. This way, even if you’re not using corners, the edges can look intentional and polished. You could consider using a matching trim or a good grout to fill any gaps, but just make sure it’s the same color as your bricks to keep it stylish!

I see what you’re saying! If you’re planning to use grout, just make sure it's packed well to give that clean finish and helps blend the colors together. It can work nicely if done properly!
