STORY

Additional things to consider when figuring Structural Glazed Facing Tile (SGFT):

* Quoins/Starter corners must be ordered as a shape. Are they bullnose or square?
* Internal corners.
* At windows and doors, consider the type of frame being used to determine jamb and lintel units required. E.g., if bullnose jamb and lintel, a miter shape will be needed for the transition at the corner (bonding pattern and series size will determine the miter shape needed). Wrap-around doorframes only need stretchers.

Several construction tips for proper use and handling of glazed masonry products are available. The following topics are offered for recommendations to assist in construction.

Upon Delivery
Take normal precautions when handling ceramic glazed brick by wearing approved protective eye wear, gloves and clothing, as directed. Any questions, call your supplier.

Delivery of Material at the Job Site
* Do not place material directly on the ground for storage.
