Manufactured Stone Veneer - Design, Installation and Maintenance
Recent developments in construction detailing and installation have resulted in the increased use of manufactured stone veneer systems. The stone look has been popular for centuries and new systems have been created to get a natural stone appearance and a very durable veneer system while reducing wall costs.
Topics to be covered include -
Manufacturing
We will look at the processes utilized to create cement based stone veneer units and the many different colors and patterns available. We will delve into the means and methods used to achieve these different looks while ensuring quality materials.
Installation
As with any wall system, there are certain guidelines, requirements and best practices that should be followed to ensure a properly performing installation. We will also discuss proper installation techniques.
Cost and Estimation
Costs and budgets are important for any project and when considering which materials to include, manufactured stone veneer can help. While there are many variables that affect price and appearance, we will give you the tools to complete an accurate comparison.
Life Cycle / Durability
Today’s buildings are being held to a higher standard of resiliency and life cycle. We will discuss the expected life cycles of manufactured stone walls and ways to increase durability and performance.

Brick Manufacturing and Specifications
Brick has been used as a building material for centuries. As a result, brick are often thought to be a relatively easy material to manufacture. On the other hand, we expect much more of the brick manufactured today: a wider range of colors, tighter tolerances, and greater durability of both molded and extruded brick. Brick manufacturing is a science unto itself. This presentation focuses on how brick are made, including discussion regarding: appropriate raw material, forming of brick units, surface colors and textures, firing and testing of brick units to ensure a durable finished product. The focus then turns to specifications. Discussion will include: the purpose of ASTM Standards, differences between face brick, building brick, paving
brick and hollow brick specifications, and various durability and appearance characteristics (including a detailed comparison between face brick and paving brick characteristics). We will discuss compressive strength, absorption characteristics, and dimensional tolerances, along with how these characteristics should be specified.
Other topics included in this presentation are --
Molded versus Extruded
How each is formed and how such formation affects appearance and durability.
Core Holes and Frogs
How do they affect final design and why they are included in manufacture?
Finished Faces
When are brick shapes needed to ensure that all exposed brick faces are finished?
Saturation Coefficient
What is a C/B ratio and how does it affect performance?
Initial Rate of Absorption vs. Absorption
How does each affect durability?
Pavers
Why the required minimum compressive strength varies between molded and extruded when specified according to ASTM C902
