Preparations Begin for Mosaic Tile Façade at the Peoples Bank Building

Crews have begun preparing the façade of the Peoples Bank building for its upcoming mosaic tile installation. Working from a scissor lift to access the upper portions of the exterior, a two-person team uses chalk-covered string to create clean, straight guides across the surface. To keep the string line stable during marking, a small wooden block is temporarily secured to the façade. These lines serve as the reference grid for placing each mosaic tile with accuracy. Establishing this layout is a crucial step that ensures the future mosaic pattern will be installed evenly and align seamlessly across the building’s façade.
