When selecting exterior building products, brick offers countless advantages over all other options. Proven for centuries, brick offers exceptional fire protection, superior moisture control, high wind protection, and are naturally energy efficient. Its modular units and variety of shapes have resulted in beautiful structures in just about every architectural style, ranging from colonial to Victorian to post-modernist.

Brick also offers lasting value and is virtually maintenance free. With practically no upkeep or repairs, homeowners avoiding ongoing costs, well as energy bill savings. When it’s time to sell, brick rates well because it’s trusted over newer cladding materials that haven’t stood the test of time.

Unlike other products, color is baked into brick so it lasts for a lifetime. One of the few materials that can actually look better with age, brick also absorbs noise, giving it an acoustic advantage over other materials – especially helpful in densely populated areas.

Brick are permanent. Weather and age proof, brick won’t tire like other man made materials. It will not rot, dent, or need to be painted, and it will never tear. Brick will not be eaten by termites. This certainly explains ads for “all-brick” houses much more often than ads for “all-vinyl” or “all-EIFS” neighborhoods. SABCO Brick Looks Best

Genuine Papercut Brick

Genuine Papercut Brick 660 414 South Alabama Brick

Our Columbus Collection offers customers the genuine papercut brick in a broad range of colors, textures and styles.  With the Columbus Collection, we can create custom brick shapes that capture the individualism that many architects and homeowners desire in their commercial and residential projects.

Genuine papercut – By using paper in the cutting process, a pleasing texture and appearance comparable to hand-molded or “old brick” is obtained at a much more economical price.  An occasional wedge shape, rounded end and soft edge is characteristic of Genuine Papercut, adding to the unique appearance associated with these brick.

The term “papercut” is derived simply from the process used to manufacture this type of brick.  It is a specific and unique approach to the manufacturing of clay brick that provides an old world look that is desired in modern design.  During the manufacturing process recycled paper is rolled onto the extruded column of clay.  The column of clay is then cut into individual brick units by using wires.  The paper provides enough resistance on the edge of the brick to create the desired degree of distortion with slightly rounded edges.  The result for the homeowner or architect is a signature masonry look unlike any other.

The increase in popularity of adhered masonry veneer facades has left the industry absent of suitable installation materials and detailed specifications – LATICRETE® has the answer!
Their proven technology will provide a permanent, high strength installation that is freeze thaw stable and protects from water intrusion.

Utilizing these advanced technologies, the LATICRETE Masonry Veneer Installation System (MVIS) is designed to offer complete solutions for adhered masonry veneers.

 

Installation of masonry veneers is typically performed with on-site mortar mixes that are subject to large variations in quality and performance. Whether over concrete or masonry substrates, installations usually include metal lath and most often provide inadequate protection from the weather resulting in water intrusion and also delamination of the veneer. Difficult to use and very time consuming to prepare, these systems are not engineered as complete wall systems and therefore do not offer warranties from a reliable source that will stand behind the installation.

 

The LATICRETE MVIS system is also verified through independent testing to perform equally to code approved conventional lath and plaster installation systems for adhered masonry veneers.
