This program examines how environmental and building design factors influence the performance of movement joints in brick veneer systems. Participants will learn how conditions such as temperature variation, moisture, and structural interaction affect joint location, spacing, and detailing. Through case studies, the course highlights both successful and problematic approaches to movement joint design. Key distinctions between movement joint strategies in structural brick and brick veneer systems will also be explored.

Presented by Doug Baxter, Bricks Incorporated + Fenestration Solutions, Inc.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize factors influenced for movement in brick and other materials
• Identify designing movement joints in brick veneer – size versus spacing
• Understand building features that influence movement joints
• Discuss case studies of good and poor designs
• Explore considerations for movement is structural brick design
