ABC116 Managing Water in Wall Systems with Brick

Water penetration causes more damage to wall systems than any other factor. In this presentation we will learn to design wall systems with brick and other masonry veneers to build a redundant system to prevent water penetration.

• Learn how to build an effective air barrier.
• Learn where air barriers fail and how to prevent those failures.
• Understand the difference between drainage walls and “rain screen” walls and how they perform.
• Learn how to construct a proper drainage wall.
• Learn now to build an effective water management with adhered veneer systems.
