ABSTRACT:
A method of installing facing bricks on the surface of an outer building wall including, as a first step, the attachment to the wall of chicken wire provided with parallel ridge configurations. These configurations are positioned to form horizontal barriers in the chicken wire which are spaced far enough apart to receive the facing bricks between them. The bricks are buttered on one side with mortar, then pressed into position between the barriers with their lower edges adjacent the lower of the two flanking barriers. When the mortar sets, grout is applied to the spaces between the bricks to embed the ridge configurations in the chicken wire. The result is a veneered wall having the bricks fastened to the wall surface with mortar and integrated into a cohesive veneer skin, along with the mortar, chicken wire and grout. Thus, if one or more of the bricks breaks away from the wall through loss of the mortar bond between the bricks and the wall, the chicken wire will hold them in position and prevent them from falling and harming or damaging persons or property below.
