Recommended Uses:- As a crack control in single wythe, composite and cavity walls.- As horizontal reinforcement to assure predictable flexural andaxial, tensile wall strength.- As a reinforcing for stack bond masonry.- As a continuous tie for two wythe, composite or cavity walls.

Cast Stone banding and veneer in a brick wall system are commonly used in designamong architects today. Cast Stone can be used successfully without cracking problemsif designed and built properly. This holds true whether the backup wall is made of concrete masonry or stud backup. If you are using these units in a veneer wall, you have to use the code requiredanchors at the designated spacing. The additional ladder reinforcing in the 4" exterior is notcode mandated, but if you wish to minimize shrinkage cracking - this additional reinforcing should be applied.
