{Wyomissing, PA – May 18, 2018} – Glen-Gery hosted the York and Adams Counties Masonry Association’s monthly meeting on the site of Glen-Gery’s Plant and Masonry Supply Center in York Pennsylvania on Wednesday, May 16. More than two dozen attendees, consisting of YACMA (York Adams Counties Masonry Association) and Glen-Gery employees attended the event. The evening included plant tours, Glen-Gery Thin Tech® and StoneFit® installation demonstrations provided by Sabad La Serna, Glen-Gery’s Thin Systems Installation Manager, a dinner and raffle. Thin Tech® is Glen-Gery’s patented mechanical support and spacing panel for thin brick, stone veneer and tile. The lightweight design reduces footing/lintel requirements, making it easier to apply thin masonry to interior walls, rehab exterior surfaces and apply a timeless masonry façade to new construction when building requirements may preclude the use of masonry products. StoneFit® is Glen-Gery’s newest stone product using patented interlocking panels and an attachment bracket to secure the stone to the wall regardless of stud location. StoneFit coupled with DryFit Technology® form the industry’s first complete stone drainage wall system – the StoneFit Wall System®.
