Suspending of brick veneer on the frame of a building is an optimal solution for the ventilated facade.
When should it be used?
– When the height of brick veneer exceeds 12 meters
– When brick veneer starts not from the foundation but, for example, from the first floor
– When the floor slab cannot be loaded upon, for example, the slab between an underground parking and the ground floor
– In case of large openings
– When implementing complex architectural forms
The primary advantage of brick veneer facades is enabling to increase floor areas on the ground level.
It is very relevant to large cities where ground floors are often used for shops or business offices with large glass openings while underground areas – for parking lots.
When designing, the facade is divided into individual fragments separated by deformation joints in between. Every fragment is supported by a row of brackets. Then the first course of bricks is laid down on the brackets. Reinforcements are placed in the mortar layer laid on the top of the first row of bricks. The next 2 courses of brickwork are also reinforced. In this way, a reinforced brick band is formed on the brackets and serves as a base for the abovelaying brickwork. The brickwork is discontinued when its height reaches the height of two floors. Then a row of brackets is mounted, and the process of forming a reinforced brick band with subsequent brickwork is repeated.
