What Should be Considered when Specifying a Masonry Veneer Cavity Wall System?
About the Sponsor
Our story is not simply a history of insulation or building supplies, or even the dates of inventions and buildings: It’s an intricate tale of innovation and growth spurred by reinvention, curiosity, and strong partnerships built over decades.
Our roots reach back to an 1800s lab experiment that, through an unexpected twist, produced mineral wool insulation. This set off a wave of innovation for what would in time become the insulation industry we lead today. Over the decades that followed, we experimented with glass, partnering with organizations along the way to develop new applications and production methods for our innovative products.
Owens Corning products make buildings more comfortable, more energy-efficient, and safer. This includes insulation that reduces heating and cooling costs, roof shingles that reflect the sun’s rays and protect the roof from severe weather, and doors that connect you with the people and things you care about most — and make life easier, safer and more beautiful, too.

What should be considered when specifying a masonry veneer cavity wall system? this course will educate participants on the functional components and system attributes of the most common exterior wall system, steel stud with masonry veneer. The course will detail key system components such as air / water restrictive barriers, air sealing practices, masonry wall ties and water drainage/ management practices. Key codes and standards will be reviewed to define system interaction and key specification practices will be reviewed to create a wall as a system.
Learning Objectives:
- Create continuous air and water barrier assemblies to reduce energy and prevent moisture damage
- Define and specify drainage and ventilation in a high performance masonry cavity wall system
- Define and specify high performance attachment methods that reduce air, water, and thermal leakage
- Describe an effective method to specify a high performance wall system
