Design Considerations for Enhancing Thin Masonry Veneers
Wednesday, December 4, 2024 | 3:00-4:00pm EST
This program examines the design and performance characteristics of metal backing systems that mechanically support thin masonry veneers. Comparisons between various systems and traditionally laid face brick masonry are made and critical design and installation factors are reviewed. Performance tests that establish code compliance of proprietary thin veneer support systems are identified. Strategies for water penetration, structural performance, thermal efficiency, and NFPA 285 approval are presented.
