Stone Masonry Designs in Full Bed and Thin Clad
This presentation focuses on an in-depth look at full-bed and thin-bed masonry veneers for both exterior and interior cladding options. In this presentation, we will discuss the formation of natural stone and compare that with the process of manufacturing Calcium Silicate Stone Units (ASTM C73) and C90 Concrete Units. The topic of detailing all stone masonry veneers is a key focus throughout the presentation as it relates to the various wall construction methods and considers the different physical properties of the masonry materials being used. The presentation offers a wide array of masonry-inspired design options through the eyes of the architectural design community.

Look to the Interior - Thin Masonry for Internal Beauty and Design
This program will discuss the many ways thin masonry can bring a sense of warmth and dynamic aesthetics to any interior. We’ll explore how thin masonry can range from classic and traditional to sleek, contemporary and modern. While many people think of masonry as an intriguing and thought-provoking exterior cladding material, thin masonry can continue that theme to the interior. With so many different options for thin masonry including Thin Brick, Thin Natural Stone, and Thin Calcium Silicate, the world is your oyster when it comes to creating beautiful and stunning interiors.
