Mortarless Brick

Brick veneers are an interesting alternative to siding or traditional masonry.
Novabrik uses a patented mortarless, interlocking, overlapping brick siding product. It can be used in new residential or commercial construction or it can be used in a retrofit application to replace aluminum or vinyl siding on a house.
Because the bricks hang on the wall, there is no ledge or steel support needed.
Application
In new construction, the building is covered in home wrap. Water and Weather proofing membranes are used around doors and windows to make a tight seal. Furring strips are screwed into studs over the home wrap, secured with special screws every ten inches along the stud.
The bricks will be screwed into these furring strips to hold them in place.
For the starter course, a 1”X6” starter board is used at base of wall.
A special plastic channel is screwed into the starter board and the first course or row of bricks sits in this channel.
The first row is screwed into the furring strips on the studs. Then the next four courses of brick are stacked on top of this starter row.
Every four courses, bricks are pre-drilled and screwed into the furring strips with a Nova screw. Each Nova screw can hold up to 300 pounds of bricks securely in place, so security and quality of installation is assured.
Corner bricks
Special corner bricks are used to cover the transition points at the corners of the walls. These pieces are screwed into the studs with a five-inch screw for maximum hold. Each one is also held in place using construction adhesive.
Brick cutting
Bricks are cut using a diamond tipped masonry blade with either a chop or miter saw.

[@kevinstenger4334]

Brick of any kind is what is called a reservoir cladding, if you are using brick it had better have a weather barrier behind it. Water will soak into and penetrate any brick cladding. Look up Matt Risinger on KZbin, he did a demonstration a couple of years ago on a brick house they were doing a gut remodel on and they had the back side of the brick exposed so you could see what happens when it gets wet. They sprayed the outside of the brick with a hose and in under a minute there was water running down the back side of the brick.

I see many future problems. Like settling and dry wall splitting, the weight pulling on the studs and many many others. Not to mention the cost of the bricks probably cost more than the mortar.

[@divineknowledge4607]

@@kshuf8426 I'll admit it does look nice, and certainly easy to install. But the setting issue assumed the wall will settle all at the same rate. Which they don't and when people think of their house settling most think downward force. But setting has many factors some being cracks, shifting and generally settling. This product in the long run will likely cause sagging floor beams which is a sign of foundation issues, unequal forces do to load imbalance, settling, shifting etc. The house would do dramatically better if it was build from stick phase for this siding rather than upgrade. I see door frames shifting pretty good from this product. I could go on and on, framing carpenter of 27 years building homes. Granted I am not a master mason but my circle have them in it and wouldn't recommend this product from some stated issues and some not stated. I don't want to sound like a dick here but you can use this if you want but I'd like to warm people of hazards they "may" face in the future. The red flag for this product for me that caused me to look no further was their is no long term study on it albeit new construction versus old construction. And as ashamed as I am of some in my field no two houses are built the same, even with the same architectural design plans. I've seen houses build with skimping on construction plans for one reason or another, none excusable. Before someone thinks I just want the business that would be further from the truth. Because this product would lower my bid on the job giving me more work/money with a faster turn over rate and no need for a mason on the job site past the concrete foundation and or basement. Just do your diligence and use your intelligence and pay attention to any red flags and research them. Take care.

My neighbors and I have not had any bricks break during that time but if there was a problem you could simply disassemble (unscrew) however many brick rows necessary (top-down) to replace the broken ones. Then reassemble as you did originally. You should use a diamond blade to cut them because I used up four carbide blades before I gave up and spend $ 200 on a diamond blade.
