Brick Shapes


2/26

ne main reason for bricks popularity with architects, designers andbuilders is its ability to adapt to design criteria. It can be shapedand used in a wide variety of traditional and contemporary detailing

from arches to sills, copings, columns and treads. Glen-Gery manufacturesa complete selection of brick shapes to match its comprehensive line ofextruded, molded, and handmade brick.

This catalog illustrates the standardized shapes that are available fromGlen-Gerys manufacturing facilities. Their availability may differ from plant toplant depending on the size and type of brick produced. Unit identification,size availability and dimensioning are noted on each shape type, making theordering process simple and straightforward. For these standard shapes, nodrawings are necessary; simply call your Glen-Gery representative with theordering information.

While these shapes can accomplish a wide variety of architecturaldetailing, Glen-Gery realizes that the creative process may require shapesthat do not fall within standardized design. To meet this need, Glen-GeryBrick is equipped to produce customized shapes that conform to the

designers specifications. Custom shapes can be produced in eitherextruded, molded or handmade brick types, although some textures maynot be available. Because of the technical expertise necessary to producethese custom shapes, it is important to consult with a Glen-Gery BrickworkDesign Center or technical advisor for the most practical and cost-effectivemethod of achieving the desired shape.

Glen-Gerys network of Design Advisors are available to coordinatethe design and production of custom brick shapes. Please contact themearly in the design stage so that all practical options can be explored.

Technical and Specification Information

len-Gery standardized shapes can be easily ordered by followingthe established format. An accurate specification should includethe number of pieces, proper shape identification, brick size,

brick type and color range, as described in this section. Your Glen-Geryrepresentative will be glad to answer any questions or provide more

detailed information on standardized shapes, custom shapes, or otheraspects of brickwork design and detailing.

Position of Brick in the Wall

Interesting brickwork design

effects can be achieved by placing

brick in other than the normal

stretcher position, as illustrated

below. Regardless of how thebrick is installed in the wall, size

dimensions (thickness, height

and length of the unit) are always

assigned from the stretched position.

Brick Colors & TexturesGlen-Gery provides a wideselection of brick colors includingranges of white, buff, grey, red,and brown in both through-the-

body and sand finished brick.Glazed and claycoat brick areavailable in standard colors aswell as an unlimited range ofcustom colors. Custom colors oftenrequire a minimum order. More thanthirty different textures are availableranging from architectural smoothand glazed to a rough bark finish.Availability of color and texturevaries from plant to plant dependingon the type of brick produced.

Coring

Coring of standardized brickshapes is a plant option. Any coringrequirements to these shapesplaces them into a custom shapecategory requiring drawings.

Glen-Gery Design Advisors

On-the-flat Water Table

SystemsThere are two types ofon-the-flat water table

systems based on thebrick position in the wall.

1) Water table in the headerposition (H).

2) Water table in the stretcherposition (S).

Each system is availablewith companion exteriorand interior corners.

Rowlock Water Table

Water Tables on-the-flat

Water Tablesowlock and on-the-flat

water tables, once used to

reduce water penetration, are now

used by architects and designers to

achieve decorative design details.

These details can range from the

use of a single style

for simplicity to a

combination of

styles to achieve

highly ornate brick-

work. In addition to

their traditional use,

these shapes can be used to add

dimension to flat walls, rotated to

form door and window jambs, or

inverted to form cornice brickwork.

Continuity of design can also be

transferred into the landscape

by using the water tables as caps

for walls or edging accents for

walkways.

*NOTE:

The header andstretcher shapes ofthe W1-EX and W1-INcan be used with eitherthe W1-H or W1-S.

Sill SystemsSills are used to protect thebrick masonry below a windowor door opening from water

penetration. Their designforces water away from thesecritical areas. These shapesare available with companionleft and right starters. Whenordering these starters,please specify left or right.

Coping SystemsCopings form a cap on top ofa wall that protects the brick

masonry below from waterpenetration. Their design forceswater to run off while exposinga minimum number of mortarjoints. These shapes and theircompanion exterior/ interiorcorners and starters areavailable in sizes that capwalls constructed of 1-3 wythesof brick.

Tread SystemsTreads are designed withcurves that add safety andbeauty to a stairway. They areavailable in 3-5/8" and 7-5/8"units (4" and 8-1/2" for HMOS)along with their companioncorner units.


12/261

Sills, Copings,and Treads

he basic function of copings

and sills is to reduce the

potential for water penetration. This

is easily and attractively accom-

plished with a variety of Glen-Gery

brick shapes. Their profiles, whether

angular or curvilinear, add distinctive

detailing to wall caps, windows, and

door openings. Tread shapes are

manufactured to properly finish brick

steps and other paving applications.

Corner BrickThe octagon and hingebrick aredesigned to provide alternativecorner treatments that do notrequire field cutting. The octagonbrick shapes form 135 interior or

exterior angles while maintainingcoursing and visual continuity.

The unique design of thehingebrick offers even greaterdesign flexibility. It allows anunlimited range of angles atcorners and can be adapted foruse in other brickwork details.

Lipped Brick

When used with a structurallyfixed shelf angle, lipped brickprovide inconspicuous, verticalexpansion joints for brick masonrystructures. They can also be usedwith loose shelf angles to formlintels above window and dooropenings.
