ABSTRACT:
A concrete masonry ("CM") block wall cladding using specially configured CM veneer blocks is applied to a substrate wall such as the exterior wall of a building. Horizontally extending support means are mounted on the substrate wall(s) and a plurality of elongated battens are secured to the substrate wall at laterally spaced intervals and extending vertically above such horizontally extending support means; a plurality of CM veneer blocks are vertically supported by the horizontally extending support means with portions of the CM blocks being secured to adjacent laterally spaced battens, thereby mounting the CM veneer blocks on the substrate wall to form a CM veneer block wall cladding. A multi-story CM block veneer wall cladding construction for a multi-story building may be similarly constructed by using a plurality of horizontally extending support means mounted on the substrate wall at vertically spaced invervals so as to support a section of the CM block wall cladding of suitable height. The CM veneer blocks are configured and sized so that they can be made in a conventional CM casting machine with suitably modified molds. Various preferred configurations of such CM veneer blocks are provided so that the blocks may be cut by workmen in the field to one of a number of different lengths for installation on substrate wall sections which do not conform to established modular sizes. A variety of preferred configurations of inside and outside CM corner veneer blocks are also provided. A variety of battens are provided for mounting the CM veneer blocks on substrate walls. The CM veneer blocks and the wall cladding system are designed so that CM veneer block wall cladding can be constructed by unskilled workers rather than requiring skilled masons or other costly artisans. The CM veneer block wall cladding and CM blocks for same can be used to retrofit to existing walls as well as to apply them to new walls.
