Mortarless Brick

Brick veneers are an interesting alternative to siding or traditional masonry.
Novabrik uses a patented mortarless, interlocking, overlapping brick siding product. It can be used in new residential or commercial construction or it can be used in a retrofit application to replace aluminum or vinyl siding on a house.
Because the bricks hang on the wall, there is no ledge or steel support needed.
Application
In new construction, the building is covered in home wrap. Water and Weather proofing membranes are used around doors and windows to make a tight seal. Furring strips are screwed into studs over the home wrap, secured with special screws every ten inches along the stud.
The bricks will be screwed into these furring strips to hold them in place.
For the starter course, a 1”X6” starter board is used at base of wall.
A special plastic channel is screwed into the starter board and the first course or row of bricks sits in this channel.
The first row is screwed into the furring strips on the studs. Then the next four courses of brick are stacked on top of this starter row.
Every four courses, bricks are pre-drilled and screwed into the furring strips with a Nova screw. Each Nova screw can hold up to 300 pounds of bricks securely in place, so security and quality of installation is assured.
Corner bricks
Special corner bricks are used to cover the transition points at the corners of the walls. These pieces are screwed into the studs with a five-inch screw for maximum hold. Each one is also held in place using construction adhesive.
Brick cutting
Bricks are cut using a diamond tipped masonry blade with either a chop or miter saw.

Brick of any kind is what is called a reservoir cladding, if you are using brick it had better have a weather barrier behind it. Water will soak into and penetrate any brick cladding. Look up Matt Risinger on KZfaq, he did a demonstration a couple of years ago on a brick house they were doing a gut remodel on and they had the back side of the brick exposed so you could see what happens when it gets wet. They sprayed the outside of the brick with a hose and in under a minute there was water running down the back side of the brick.

The Tyvek seams are not taped and might not meet code in many jurisdictions. the base of the wall is poorly flashed. This system is not waterproof - water will get in behind the brick. To make this successful, the backup wall must be 100% waterproof with robust water management systems. This would have a very short lifespan in the northeast.
