Novabrik on Various Types of Structures
Novabrik on concrete blocks
The installation of Novabrik is done just like on a wooden structure. It is a simple
procedure, therefore follow all the steps from the beginning of this guide. The
key to a sound installation is to use concrete screws that have a secure grip into
the concrete. Consult a professional engineer for structure requirements.
Without Insulation
• Install furring strips vertically at 16”(400mm) c/c on the wall with
3/16” (5mm) Ø concrete screws at 10” (250mm) c/c. The screws
must penetrate at least 1 1/4” (32mm) into the stucture.
• If necessary use shims behind furring strips to plumb the
wall.
• Fasten Starter Strip with 3/16” (5mm) Ø concrete screws
at 10” (250mm) c/c.
• Fasten first row of bricks into furring strips with #8 or
10 x 2 1/2”(64mm) corrosion resistant wood screws.
• Secure the Novabrik with #8 or 10 x 2
1/2”(64mm) corrosion resistant wood screws at
every fourth course to each furring strip.
With Insulation
• Install furring strips vertically at 16”(400mm) c/c on the wall with
3/16” (5mm) Ø concrete screws at 10” (250mm) c/c. The screws
must penetrate at least 1 1/4” (32mm) into the structure.
• Fasten starter strip with 3/16” (5mm) Ø concrete screws at 10”
(250mm) c/c.
• Secure the Novabrik with # 8 or # 10 x 2 1/2”(64mm)
corrosion resistant wood screws at every fourth course
to each furring strip.
Note: Limit the insulation thickness to a
maximum of 2” (50mm) when using
