Masonry
veneers—clay bricks, concrete masonry, and natural and
artificial stone—keep the outside “out” and the inside
“in.” The robust nature of masonry veneer systems
shields us from sound, infiltration, wind, rain, heat
and cold, intrusion, and fire. That robustness also
lowers life-cycle costs because these systems serve us
for decades with little maintenance.
Although
simple in concept, masonry veneers may not give the
service that we expect if there are imperfections in
design, materials, or construction. Ron Hunsicker helps
owners, designers, manufacturers, and contractors avoid
imperfections. Ron also helps discover solutions to
problems when there are imperfections. |
