Because the Veneer and Backup in a Brick Veneer Assembly

question 17

Essay

Because the veneer and backup in a brick veneer assembly are made of different materials and are exposed to different temperature variations, they expand and contract at different rates in their own vertical planes. Therefore, the anchors that connect the veneer to the backup should allow these movements to be unrestricted. Can this requirement be met by using one- piece anchors? If not explain, why not?
