Why Masonry Builds Better Buildings
Because masonry lasts so much longer
Because masonry has lower life-cycle costs
Because masonry requires little maintenance
Because masonry walls also save energy
Because masonry is a better indoor environment
Because masonry is truly sustainable construction

Masonry interiors are nearly maintenance free
Brick and structural glazed tile walls
Ceramic tile floors
Lowest possible maintenance cost!

Masonry can meet your sustainable construction goals beautifully. These exposed masonry surfaces require no paint or other coatings that release VOC’s into the air we breathe.
And exposed masonry resists damage so well, it is the obvious choice for schools, sports facilities, and even prisons. Because it is so durable, it is very inexpensive to maintain. Now THAT is beauty that is more than just skin deep.
Masonry has no VOC’s or allergens and does not support mold growth
Not damaged by water
Better thermal and humidity control
Masonry has excellent acoustic properties
5. A better indoor environment
Masonry has no VOC’s or allergens
Masonry is clean and pure minerals
No toxic chemicals
No sugars, paper, or glues that feed mold
5. A better indoor environment
Better thermal and humidity control
Mass of masonry helps keep indoor air at a constant temperature
Exposed masonry can absorb or release humidity to keep nearby air at a constant humidity for health and comfort
5. A better indoor environment
Masonry has excellent acoustic properties
Low sound transmission – typical STC 50 or more
Smooth finishes to reflect sound where needed
Textured finishes to diffuse sound NRC 25-50
Sound control blocks to absorb sound – NRC 75
5. A better indoor environment
Decrease in reflected sound is measured by Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC)
Hard surfaces reflect sound NRC less than 25
Textured surfaces absorb sound (NRC 25-50)
Sound control blocks greatly reduce reflected sound where needed (NRC 75 or more)
Noise Control
5. A better indoor environment

FIX GRAPHIC AND FLIP HORZ
Mass minimizes through-wall noise transmission (STC)
Most CM walls have STC 50 or higher
Quiet = greater interior comfort
Noise Control
5. A better indoor environment

FIX GRAPHIC AND FLIP HORZ
Strategically placed sound control blocks keep noise levels low
5. A better indoor environment
Band Room
Additional sound control blocks make a much quieter room
5. A better indoor environment

Band rooms and cafeterias each have special acoustic requirements.
Sound control blocks have special chambers that absorb unwanted noise,
so you can really hear the music … or not.

Virtually no packaging
Surplus brick can be
Used on other projects
Stored outside indefinitely
Crushed for “grog” filler in new bricks
Crushed for structural fill
Chemically inert – will not contaminate soil or runoff

Embodied energy is the total energy (Kwh/ton) used to produce and handle a product from extraction of resources to construction to disposal.
Brick has a lower embodied energy than many other cladding materials

SHOT OF KILN
Genuine Clay Brick are Fired with clean, abundant natural gas
1891 – 1973 Fuel gas use reduce by 67%
1996-2003: Overall energy use reduced 30%
Since 2003: Energy reduced 12%
Total reduction = 80% since 1891
