ABSTRACT:
A masonry/brick support structure is adapted for secure positioning upon a substructure such as a wall and includes a sheet metal underlayer or panel having a plurality of tabs punched therein and extending outward from a first side thereof. Also positioned on the first side of the sheet metal panel are adhesive strips for permanently affixing bricks to the panel's first, or outer, side with the bricks positioned in a given spaced array on the panel by the tabs extending therefrom. The tabs may be incorporated in the sheet metal panel in virtually any array to allow for a wide range of brick shapes and dimensions as well as various brick alignment arrangements. The tabs provide support for the bricks when initially positioned upon the panel. Mortar or grout is positioned in the inter-brick spaces and over the tabs which are thus no longer visible. The first, outer surface of the sheet metal panel may also be provided with an appropriate adhesive layer for maintaining the mortar or grout applied thereto securely in position after it sets. The sheet metal panel may be provided on a second, inner surface thereof with an insulating layer such as a foam insulation which is maintained thereon by an appropriate adhesive layer to form an insulated building structure.
