SUSTAINABLE MASONRY
FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION

21st century masonry walls have become more complex with stricter code requirements, increased energy efficiency and more creative designs. The need has developed for systems or groupings of products that will function together and that have been tested to assure their compatibility and effectiveness. Hohmann & Barnard is leading the way with complete systems for various wall types that include all of the required accessories for the project. Our extensive field experience along with testing at our R&D lab allow us to offer complete systems of complementary and compatible products to give designers, contractors and building owners peace of mind.
