Design and Installation Considerations for Stone Masonry Veneers
IIBEC – Canadian Prairies is hosting a Lunch ‘n Learn talk on “Design and Installation Considerations for Stone Masonry Veneers”. The event will be held February 16th, 2023. Lunch will be served at 11:00. The talk will begin at 11:30.
Join us for an IN PERSON talk, on Design and Installation Considerations for Stone Masonry Veneers. Event will be held at the Calgary Construction Association in the Legacy Room.
Overview: Stone masonry veneers both full bed and adhered have been gaining popularity in Alberta in the last few years. The presentation reviews the types of stone masonry and refreshes the designer’s knowledge of stone masonry design. The types of stone masonry covered in the presentation include full bed stone masonry veneers, anchored thin stone masonry veneers, and adhered thin stone masonry veneers. Design recommendations based on bond testing for adhered stone veneers over exterior insulation and exceeding 10 feet in height are presented. Some considerations for site review of stone masonry veneer installation are also covered. A brief discussion on meeting the NECB 2017 requirements with stone veneers is also discussed
Learning Objective 1 – Understand important construction details and installation requirements for full bed and anchored thin stone veneer, including meeting the NECB 2017 requirements.
Learning Objective 2 – Understand important construction details and installation requirements for adhered stone veneers, including meeting the NECB 2017 requirements.
Learning Objective 3 – Understand the Four different design cases for adhered stone veneers (trim, veneer up to 10′, above 10′ and over exterior insulation)
This talk is being presented by Mark D. Hagel. This Lunch ‘n Learn is good for 1 CEH credit and 1.0 learning credits with the Alberta Association of Architects.
