A solid composite masonry wall combines two closely paired wythes, a facing wythe and a backing wythe, often differing in materials. This design marries the aesthetic allure of the facing material, like brick, with the economical and functional advantages of the backing material, such as concrete or CMU. Both wythes are bonded together using mortar or ties, creating a unified, solid structure. This composite approach offers versatility in appearance and performance, ensuring the external face provides the desired architectural look, while the backing enhances strength and cost-effectiveness. This union of materials in a solid format maximizes the benefits of each component, resulting in durable and visually appealing walls.
Solid Composite Masonry Walls are constructed with typical overall wall depths of 9.5”-11.5” (24.1-29.2 cm). Overall heights of Solid Composite Masonry Walls are commonly between 8’-16’ (2.44-4.88 m) with wall lengths of 12’-32’ (3.66-9.75 m).
