Soldier Course Installation
Soldier Course Band
A different color soldier course looks good on high and long walls.
1. Fasten 18” (450mm) high plywood
to studs and cover with flashing or
house wrap.
2. Fasten every brick of this course
with two screws.
3. Cut brick and glue in place.
4. Fasten each soldier with two #8 or
#10 x 2½” (64mm) corrosion resistant
screws.
5. Install starter strip above soldier course
and fasten each brick with one screw.
Continue up the wall fastening bricks at
each furring strip at every fourth course.
Note: If you need to cut a brick to fit the width of the opening, start
installing soldiers at both ends and cut the brick in the middle of
the opening. This will give a more symmetrical look.
• Install the rest of the soldiers in the same manner.
• Remove the top part of the last Novabrik soldier and glue it in place.
