This is Masonry 101, what to look for to avoid a bad looking job. But more importantly create a safe healthy and resilient project for your client. Everyone on the jobsite, from the mason contractor to the GC Supervision has eyes on the job. If something doesn’t look right stop that portion of the project and ask a question. We will discuss the important items an Architect should review during regular site inspections.

Manufactured stone veneer is an inspirational design element, born from innovative technology and creative solutions. Also known as MSV, manufactured stone veneer is lightweight, non-load bearing building material used as a decorative wall covering for exterior or interior surfaces in both residential and commercial construction. Manufactured stone veneer products are cast in molds taken from carefully selected natural stone, using a process that faithfully captures even the faintest detail. The use of molds allows the stone to have a unique aesthetic and panelized systems allow for quicker installation. Manufactured stone veneer products adhere to any structurally sound surface and require a simple installation process of lath, scratch coat, mortar, and grout. Each color and texture uses a blend of Portland cement, lightweight natural aggregates, and iron oxide pigments. Even on close examination, manufactured stone looks and feels like natural stone.

While natural stone veneer has a timeless popularity in commercial and residential applications, its cost, weight, and availability can make it prohibitive for some projects. Natural-looking manufactured stone veneer alleviates those concerns but still requires time and experience in mortared stone installation. This course explores these options and then introduces the latest manufactured stone product, a panelized, mortarless veneer that installs with the ease, speed, and all-weather flexibility of siding. Application examples and case studies present the many options that offer a real stone aesthetic without the time, skill, and constraints required for mortared applications.

Masonry production and the post-processing is an involved and complex process. This presentation and tour covers how concrete masonry units are manufactured as well as the units are post-processed to provide a high aesthetic appeal for the architect and designer. This presentation/plant tour includes discussion about the types of aggregates that are used and how they affect the performance of the units together as a system for the following criteria: structural strength, fire resistance, moisture resistance, and aesthetic considerations. This presentation/ tour covers the quality control practices and procedures of manufactured concrete products that ensure the performance of the units meets/ exceeds the reference standards. It will also increase the participants understanding of how concrete masonry can contribute to the health safety and welfare of the occupants through its inherent performance characteristics.
