A new angle on brick wall construction

Aug. 11, 2010

Single-wythe masonry unit is now available with angled web surfaces toward the center of the unit, which ensures that crack-induced, wind-driven rain is directed down to flashing and weep hole exits. By improving moisture drainage, Quik-Brik with V-Brik helps control water leakage and prevents mold growth. The masonry unit also features a water-repellant admixture that reduces moisture absorption, permeability, and wicking.
