Low-Rise Multi-Family Housing Brochure
The bottom-line benefits of using concrete masonry and precast hollow core concrete slabs in low-rise multi-family housing are described in a new, 12-page, full color brochure entitled "Concrete Suggestions." It was produced by a joint committee composed of NCMA, PCA and the Pre-stressed Concrete Institute. The life-cycle costs of concrete masonry and hollow core buildings are much lower than those of other types of construction, particularly wood-frame structures, the brochure explains. Construction costs are competitive and maintenance costs are substantially reduced. Favorable insurance rates, made possible by the inherent fire-resistance of concrete, further enhance the profitability of these structures.
To obtain copies of "Concrete Suggestions," contact the Joint Committee for Promotion of Concrete in Low Rise Multihousing. 175 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604, or phone (312) 786-0300.
DUR-A-BILITY... hallmark of the Dur-O-Wal veneer anchor system
DUR-O-WAL's entire product line has been designed to reinforce and strengthen walls and facades since 1939 and its new veneer anchor system provides triple-duty durability.
1. Heart of the system is the D/A 213 adjustable speed-set veneer anchor. Unique 2-screw design doubles profection against failures due to stud corrosion or deterioration; provides 100% better back-up than ordinary anchors.
ALLOWS MOVEMENT IN PLANE
Double leg pintles give twice the strength and allow half the distortion of anchors with a single pintle leg. D/A 213 provides maximum movement control, speeds installation time and accommodates up to 3%" rigid insulation. NEW FEATURES-D/A213 is now available with No. 4 gage pintles for twice the stiffness. New options in corrosion resistant Climaseal or self tapping stainless steel screws. D/A 213 veneer anchors are available mill galvanized, hot-dipped galvanized, stainless steel or epoxy coated.
2. Easy to overlook, yet no less a part of the overall system, Dur-O-Wal's D/A 1005 clear plastic weep holes minimize moisture build-up to reduce interior corrosion.
GETS THE WATER OUT
Standard" O.D. x 4" long tube provides weep holes at bottoms of walls and shelf angles. They are virtually invisible taking on the color of the surrounding mortar.
3. And finally, the Dur-O-Wal veneer wall system features flexible joint fillers to keep mortar and other foreign material out and allow adequate expansion. D/A 2010 Rapid Soft-Joint protects horizontal expansion joints; D/A 2015 Rapid Expansion Joint with adhesive protects vertical expansion joints.
ACCOMMODATES EXPANSION
Dur-O-Wal's flexible joint material is closed cell neoprene and conforms to ASTM D1056 class RE41. Compressibility exceeds 50%.
