Single wythe concrete block or. clay brick walls are the most common structural masonry walls: four. such single wythe wall systems are discussed below. Each type offers. different performance potential in terms of climatic factors, fire, thermal, sound and seismic resistance; and construction and maintenance costs.

Solid Brick vs. Brick Veneer Solid brick and brick veneer structures use some of the same construction materials, but their installation techniques are different. Solid brick houses (also known as double-brick and solid masonry houses) are built from either two layers of brick, or a layer of concrete block and an adjacent layer of brick on the exterior. The brick is part of the building’s structural support system; if the brick were removed, the building would suffer structural failures. Brick veneer is not, contrary to popular belief, composed of thin pieces of brick, such as is found in veneer floors, patios, and decorative interior elements. Brick veneer houses look almost identical to solid brick structures, except that they are built using a very different technique.
