ALL-MASONRY
GIVES YOU ALL THE ADVANTAGES.
Through the years new wall systems periodically appear on the construction scene. All of them seem to boast economy, speed and durability. But all too often, years down the road, owners and specifiers come to the sad realization that the new systems just haven't lived up to expectations and claims.
But with all-masonry walls you get exactly what you specify and buy-time-tested construction. There's never a need to worry if the system will work the way you expect it to.
During construction, you work with proven methods for flashing, weepholes, expansion joints and ties and anchors-time-tested methods for preventing and solving problems.
After construction, all-masonry walls provide an enclosure that saves energy. Masonry "mass" reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
Few building systems can rival the strength and performance of all-masonry construction. None can claim lower maintenance costs.
And masonry is a naturally fire-resistant material. It won't burn, melt or give off dangerous toxic fumes.
So choose masonry-on-masonry for worry-free construction, higher energy efficiency and greater building life expectancy. And, above all, for peace of mind.
