Installation Instructions

This booklet describes the steps required to install Novabrik on a standard wood

frame construction. Its purpose is to provide basic information that will simplify

the installation process while assuring successful results.

This guide does not claim to cover all situations that may occur. If your project

involves a different building frame, such as steel studs, SIPs, concrete blocks

or insulated concrete forms, among others, please consult your dealer or

Novabrik manufacturer for installation details. You may also visit our web site at

www.novabrik.com for further information.

Building codes and regulations vary throughout the country. Be sure to check

with your local code official for specific framing requirements in your area. For

further information you can refer to the Evaluation Reports on the inside

cover of this guide or visit the Novabrik web site.

The information and product applications illustrated in this manual have been

carefully compiled by Novabrik International Inc. and its Licensed Producers, and

to the best of our knowledge it accurately represents the use of Novabrik. Final

determination of the suitability of any information or material for the contemplated

use and its manner of use is the sole responsibility of the user.

Novabrik can be used on new constructions and for remodeling. Novabrik hangs

on the wall, therefore no brick ledge is required.

For buildings not built on structural footings, check with a local building professional

to make sure your foundation will adequately handle the added weight.

Floaters

When a section of a wall wraps over the

top of the roof, we call it a “floater”. This

area will need extra support prior to the

installation of Novabrik.

Check with a professional builder or

engineer to determine the structural

requirements for the added weight.
