Record 5 1987-11-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Masonry Materials
  • Terra Cotta
  • Industrial Ceramics
CONT

Exposed brick and block are often economical. Single-wythe, through-the-wall brick may be practical, especially where the wall is structural.

CONT

Through-the-wall brick is very economical for medium-rise (6- to 12-storey) structures. The easiest way to finish such walls is with polystyrene and drywall. The cost of a 100 mm brick veneer is about $71.00/m [square]. Through-the-wall brick, because of the longer bricks, is about the same per face area of the wall.

OBS

The above contexts were found on pages 7 and 22 respectively of a draft document entitled Building Finishes Selection Guide, September 1987, prepared by the Buildings Division, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.
