2023 Convention Session: Basics of Thin Brick Wall Systems- Donlon M., Pitzer M. ($95.00 member/$110.00 nonmember)

Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Houston, Texas.  This course includes the recording of the session, a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions, and surveys required to claim continuing education credit.

Description
Several thin brick wall systems have been developed for the construction industry, ranging from composite thin brick precast panelized walls to rail-supported thin brick rain screens. Each of the thin brick wall systems has benefits and drawbacks that require careful consideration when considering climate, code, and adjacent wall assemblies. When the wrong thin brick system is chosen for a specific application, or the system is composed of using the wrong elements, problems can occur during or soon after construction. Our experience investigating problems with thin brick wall systems and navigating design challenges during construction has shown the importance of understanding the variety of systems that exist and when one system may want to be selected versus another. Understanding how each system functions is also essential to understanding how the detailing of the systems varies and the importance of matching the right details to the right system.
