SYSTEM 1
3 5/8" brick veneer
1 1/2" rigid insulation
7 5/8" CMU backup
Total Wall Thickness - 14"
This system is a cavity wall consisting of an exterior brick veneer and a CMU backup.
The two wythes are anchored with horizontal joint reinforcement, providing one tie per 2.67 ft2 of wall area The joint reinforcement can be ladder tri-rod type, tab type, or
adjustable. Since 4 inches of unreinforced brick masonry will allow some water to penetrate, we design the system to manage the entrant water. A clean airspace
provides a space for water to drain down where it can be directed to the exterior at flashing locations.
