NewBrick saves time and money on the jobsite. At 1⁄12th the weight of traditional clay brick, NewBrick offers the aesthetic value of brick cladding with greater ease of installation, the firm says. Each brick includes a horizontal alignment guide that provides a standard ⅜-inch mortar joint between rows, eliminating the need for support pans and shelf angles. Dryvit recently expanded the alignment feature to all NewBrick shapes, sizes, and textures. In addition, the bricks are adhesively attached with no ties required. NewBrick can be directly installed over tilt-wall, precast, and concrete masonry units. When used with Dryvit’s Outsulations CI system, the bricks meet IECC requirements, high energy and fire resistant standards, and can contribute to a building’s LEED points, the company says. NewBrick can save on construction costs by reducing the amount of steel and concrete that is typically required to support brick, Dryit says.
