SYSTEM 8
3 5/8" glazed brick veneer
1 1/2" rigid insulation
7 5/8" CMU backup
This system is a cavity wall consisting of an exterior glazed 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. This system uses glazed clay units which have a low perm rating. The glazing does not allow water to enter or escape in the same manner as a
non-glazed brick. For this reason the air space in the cavity should be no smaller than 2" and the cavity should be vented at the top and bottom of the wall with open head joints @ 24"O.C.
