Course Description: AEC Daily: Enhanced Performance Installation Systems for Thin Adhered Masonry Veneers
ONGOING - FREE -1 HOUR
In response to the issues associated with the traditional lath and scratch method, new masonry veneer installation technologies have been developed that comprise polymer-modified adhesive mortars and innovative waterproofing air and water barrier membranes to deliver superior long-term performance for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. This course reviews the traditional lath and scratch method and then discusses enhanced masonry veneer installation systems (EMVIS) that are engineered to provide a permanent, high-strength installation for thin brick manufactured stone and natural cut stone veneers.
ONGOING - FREE -1 HOUR
Learning Objectives
Discuss the traditional lath and scratch installation process and the common problems that can arise, leading to costly repairs or failure of the system.
Describe the components of an enhanced masonry veneer installation system that combine to deliver higher performance levels, freeze–thaw stability, and greater value to interior and exterior applications.
Explain the installation efficiencies of enhanced performance installation systems for thin adhered masonry veneers that result in savings of time, money, and materials.
Contrast the costs between the traditional method for attaching masonry products to building envelope substrates and an EMVIS.
State the standards used to evaluate the performance of EMVIS products, including National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 285, Miami Dade TAS testing, and ASTM E1354 and ASTM E84.
