Masonry Veneer Curtain Wall
Sequence of Construction
Steel shelf angle
Rigid board insulation
Flashing
Brickwork
Masonry Veneer Curtain Wall
Reinforced CMU backup wall
Air- and water-resistive barrier
Insulation
Brickwork with joint reinforcing/masonry ties
Masonry Veneer Curtain Wall
Sequence
continues in
3-course, 16-
inch
increments.
Alternative
sequence:
Complete CMU
backup wall
first, brick
veneer second.
Masonry Veneer Curtain Wall
Brick veneer curtain wall section
The horizontal
expansion joint
allows the
concrete frame
to deflect and
creep, and the
brick to
expand,
without
introducing
stress into brick
veneer.
Masonry Veneer Curtain Wall
Thermally improved veneer ties and shelf
angles improve the efficiency of the wall
system as a whole.
Masonry Veneer Curtain Wall
Masonry veneer
with steel stud
backup.
The HSS support
carries the weight
of the veneer. The
metal studs resist
wind loads
transferred
through the
veneer ties.

Note the smoke
seal/fire safing
that protects
against free
passage of fire
and smoke
between floors.

Blue coating is
a liquid-
applied, air-
and water-
resistive
barrier over
gypsum
sheathing.

Prefabricated Brick Curtain Wall
Factory-
fabricated
reinforced brick
panels lifted
into place on
building.
Unlike the
previous
examples, this
system
manages water
intrusion as a
barrier wall.
Stone Curtain Walls
Grid-Supported Stone Panels
Steel verticals and
aluminum horizontals
carry stone panels.
Stone Curtain Walls
Stone panels supported on extruded aluminum
channels screw-fastened through sheathing
into metal studs.
Orange sheet
material is the
air- and water-
resistive barrier
applied over
gypsum
sheathing.
This is a
drained
cladding
system.
Stone Curtain Walls
Monolithic Stone
Cladding
Larger, heavier panels.
Barrier wall system: No
water is expected to
pass through the stone
panels.
Precast Concrete Curtain Walls
Precast Concrete
Sandwich Panel
Drained cladding
system.
Note easily
adjusted panel
supports. After final
alignments,
connections are
welded to prevent
later slippage.
Precast Concrete Curtain Walls
Precast concrete panel ready to be
lifted and installed on building frame.
Precast Concrete Curtain Walls
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete
(GFRC)
GFRC is sprayed over
light gauge metal
framed panels.
Thinner, lighter panels,
easily molded into
special profiles and
shapes.

Exterior Insulation and Finish System
Exterior Insulation and Finish
System
Foam panels
adhered to
backup
substrate.
Reinforced
polymer plaster
basecoat and
finish coat
applied.
Exterior Insulation and Finish System
Water-Managed EIFS
Modern EIFS
frequently adds a
water-resistive
barrier and drainage
plane behind the
foam insulation, to
prevent entrapped
moisture.
Exterior Insulation and Finish System
EIFS recladding of traditional masonry
warehouse improves thermal efficiency and
renews appearance.
