Azar Brick Masonry System
The new Azar brick is a mortarless veneering brick for exterior walls. Compared to traditional brick, the product is inexpensive and can be constructed within a fraction of the time of traditional mortared walls. Plus, because the unit uses clips instead of mortar, the veneer can be undertaken in any weather because there are no temperature restrictions.
"A groove in the back of the brick allows a plastic clip to be inserted and can move horizontally along the length of the brick," explains Azar. "Once in place, the plastic clip is then secured to the rough walls by a double-headed metal screw that can be adjusted inward or outward resulting in a perfectly straight wall."
Part of the trick with these new systems is that, although everyone wants a system that installs faster, they don't necessarily want it to look any different from what is considered a traditional masonry wall. Like with the interlocking CMUs, these masonry units keep the traditional appearance that customers have grown to love, but it takes half the time to install.
"Reduced time, costs and skilled labor is a revolution in the masonry industry," Azar sums up. "AMBS raises the bar in the masonry industry and offers an alternative to existing building systems... 'Building today with tomorrow's technology."
