Typically, all the brick selected for a given project will be either full bed depth (anchored) or thin brick (adhered); however, situations may benefit from combining the two types of masonry veneer on a project. The intent of this course is to differentiate between the types of brick masonry veneer, discuss the unique detailing required when combining veneer types, and provide project examples demonstrating where both types of masonry veneer have been successfully integrated. This course will focus on exterior applications of anchored and adhered masonry veneer.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Recall the differences between adhered and anchored masonry veneer regarding support, connection to the backing, and wall function.
  • Summarize the building code requirements for adhered and anchored masonry veneer that ensure a structurally sound, safe, and durable installation.
  • Detail expansion joints and the transitions between adhered and anchored masonry veneer that accommodate movement and manage moisture, preventing structural issues.
  • Use project examples to explain how code restrictions, atypical bond patterns, and support, geometric, schedule, and site constraints influence veneer selection and specification and the longevity of the wall.

Approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
