Achieving Optimum Envelope Performance with Ceramic Rainscreen Facades

Ceramic rainscreens are a versatile façade cladding option that combine generations of building science knowledge with the proven durability and beauty of fired ceramics. The result is an advanced cladding that can makes significant contribution to a high-performance building envelope. This program reviews how resilient, maintenance free ceramic rainscreens, made from natural and recycled materials minimize water penetration, resist fire, benefit project schedules and achieve energy efficiency requirements.

Learning Objectives

1. Identify common components of ceramic rainscreen assemblies and their functions

2. Describe how ceramic rainscreens achieve superior water penetration resistance.

3. Discuss how the attributes of ceramic rainscreens contribute to important aspects of highperformance envelope design, such as project schedule, fire resistance and environmental impact

4. Review strategies for meeting energy code requirements with ceramic rainscreen systems.

Basics of Brickwork Detailing

Water penetration is responsible for many of the problems encountered in masonry walls today. The successful performance of a masonry wall depends on limiting the amount of water penetration and controlling any water that does enter the wall system. Water penetration resistance and control in brick veneer is the focus of this presentation. The concept behind the ‘brick veneer drainage wall’ is discussed in detail, as well as, the proper materials to specify in order to maximize a wall's water penetration resistance. The various elements and materials which make up a building are in a constant state of motion. All building materials expand and contract due to changes in temperature; some materials move with changes in moisture content. Each building material also changes dimensions due to stress and some materials tend to flow when subjected to sustained loads. These major causes of movement: thermal, moisture, deflection and creep, along with the proper way to control these movements are the focus of this presentation.

Other topics included in this presentation are --

• Workmanship: What to expect from the mason.

• Airspaces: Why is the airspace so important and what are the minimum requirements for proper performance.

• Colorless Coatings: When should they be used? Are they always effective?

• Flashing and Weepholes: Which types are most effective?

• Expansion Joints, Control Joints, Building Expansion Joints: Is there really a difference, or is it just semantics.

• Joint Spacing: Is there an appropriate ‘Rule of Thumb’ - or can such a rule lead to cracking?

• Compressible Fill: Where should it be used and why.

• Shelf Angle Details: What must occur at shelf angles to allow for the expected movements?

Lunch & Learn:
Brick Product &Technical Specifications

This presentation will elaborate upon the information typically presented in a brick product technical data sheet, using typical Glen-Gery technical data sheets as examples. An overview of frequently encountered American brick standards will be provided. This will be followed by in-depth descriptions of the individual tests reported on in the data sheet, as well as the interpretation and significance of the reported values and their respective limits. You will earn 1 LU/HSW credit for attending. 

This presentation should teach attendees-

• Analyze a typical brick technical data sheet to find physical properties related to brick durability.
• Apply appropriate ASTM brick standards and based on intended use and building application.
• Compare the requirements of “Grade”, “Class”, and “Type” applications within common brick standards.
• Explore how tests used to determine commonly reported brick properties are performed.
• Describe the significance of the reported values and how they relate to product performance.

Exterior Porcelain Pavers - The Ideal Option For Exterior Paving

2 cm porcelain pavers are relatively new innovative products in the tile market. The 2cm (3/4") thickness, as opposed to a typical 3/8" thickness, allows the product's use in more application types with superior performance. This course will compare and contrast 2cm porcelain pavers with other hardscape substrates - comparing cost, design, and performance. After taking this course, landscape and hardscape designers will be able to make an informed value judgement based on performance, life cycle, and cost.

Learning Objectives

• Explore how to use 2cm porcelain pavers as a design element, including applications and installation options.
• Explore the performance attributes of porcelain pavers and examine the rigorous standards and testing that porcelain pavers undergo.
• Compare and contrast 2cm exterior porcelain pavers with other hardscapes such as cement, natural stone, and brick.
• Review a cost analysis comparing various hardscape materials.
