How TMS Code Changes Could Impact How You Install Masonry Veneer
In 2022, the Masonry Society published changes to TMS Codes 402 and 602. These changes are intended to address some of the current issues that arise with the so-called “tried and true” methods of installing masonry veneer.For instance, traditional mortars, typically used for stacking brick and block, are often used to adhere thin veneer to a vertical surface. They lack the adhesive strength to properly hold the veneer in place, making the system prone to failures, and leading to dangerous situations with thin brick and stone veneer falling off buildings.
