may · suhn · ree - vuh · neer
Masonry veneer is a type of exterior wall cladding that provides the appearance of traditional masonry construction while using thinner and lighter materials. It consists of a facing layer of bricks, stones, or manufactured stone products that are adhered or anchored to the structural wall of a building, which can be made of concrete block, wood framing, or other materials. The facing layer is typically applied using mortar or specialized adhesives.
Masonry veneer offers the aesthetic appeal of natural masonry without the weight and cost associated with traditional full-thickness masonry walls. It provides insulation and weather protection for the building’s structure while enhancing its visual appeal. Masonry veneer is commonly used in residential and commercial construction to achieve various architectural styles and design preferences. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial to ensure the durability and performance of masonry veneer over time.
