ATT: Mass Appeal










Yo guys, I checked out ScottSystem.com and they had a few interesting things i thought we should all look over together. I posted some information below. Let me know what you think of the form-flex liners because we could go in many different directions with that style. You can also check out the different textures they offer on the site, sooo.... check it OUT!!!

Form-Flex Liners

Made of elastomeric-urethane and guaranteed for 100 uses, Flex-Liners reproduce the same, outstanding texture in perfect detail every time. A variety of standard textures are available in Stone, Fractured, Wood, Flute, Flat and Block patterns.







Brick-Inlay Systems










Brick Snaps® inlay system is a revolutionary way to integrally cast thin brick into PRECAST or TILT-UP concrete. This innovative method saves TIME and MONEY over conventional field-applied brick and produces a superior structure.With Brick Snaps®, a variety of masonry finishes can be achieved without utilizing a bricklayer. Because the brick veneer is an integral part of the concrete, the need for weep cavities, lintels and anchor clip designs is eliminated. Flashing details are simplified.Brick faced concrete is beautiful, economical and fast. When the wall goes up, the brick is already in place! Brick Snaps® have many advantages over conventional masonry units.


Brick-Inlay Systems




The Rim Snap™ is the new and improved version of the Brick Snap®. Rim Snaps™ are ideal for vertical applications and are perfect for accommodating corner brick on returns.Like the Brick Snap®, the Rim Snap™ is an individual plastic template/brick holder with interlocking tabs that connect together on the pour surface. The Rim Snap™, however, has a rubber-type of gasket rim the holds the brick securley in place.Rim Snaps™ are perfect for small or large-scale barrier walls and residential construction. Rim Snaps™ assemble easily and attach to foundation and poured in-place forms to produce a real brick facade integrally cast into concrete.




Brick-Inlay Systems




A brick-patterned elastomeric form liner is made to spec; thin bricks are placed into the liner pockets and concrete is poured over the back of the assembly, integrally casting the brick tiles into the concrete. The liner is stripped revealing a hard rock concrete panel with an elegant and permanent brick finish.The brick patterned formliner is made of tough, reusable elastomeric urethane to ANY coursing pattern. Arches, radii, ornate corbels, and numerous bonding patterns can be accommodated enabling expensive masonry work to be produced at a production line pace. The Brick Gasket Liner is intended for PRECAST use only and specifically where a hgh number of identical panels are to be produced. The reusable gasket liner is economical because with each use, the cost impact on your projects decreases dramatically.Brick Gasket form liners are made in sheets in ANY size imaginable and allow for variations in brick tolerance and types. Brick Gasket form liners are also available in a number of MORTAR JOINT configurations. One of these joint details should work for your specified brick (or we can make one that will).

Brick Colors and Sizes


A variety of brick colors and textures are available including wire-cut, hand-molded and smooth-face surfaces in multiple shades and blends. Many brick sizes and trim pieces are also available for Scott’s brick-inlay systems. Standard and utility size are the most common. Modular (4” x 8”) and Norman (2 ¼” x 12”) size brick can be accommodated. Brick provided by Scott System is much thinner than conventional masonry (usually ½”) and guaranteed to fit our template systems.

progress on product proposals

Your team has a start with the location of one good source. However, if other team members wish to receive individual credit for this task, the rest of you need to post your recommendations as well. I am looking for one list from each team member identifying specific product choices for each masonry type listed in PPD and schematic drawings. For example:

U3 - Mesastone Textured - Williamsburg Grey by Trenwyth Industries
etc.

CMU Product Selection

Hi Everyone!
I have found a supplier that I like for our CMU. They appear to have everything we need. Their Verastone line looks really nice, is recycled ground-face masonry units, and made in Pennsylvania, which gives us LEED points for both the materials and the shipping distance. They have decent color choices as well.
Here is the link to their website if anyone is interested in checking it out:

click for more info on Verastone.

Some of their other lines are made in Illinois and will have to ship further.
