Patent number: 11454034Abstract: Described are dry cast lightweight veneer blocks and a system and method of installing lightweight veneer blocks. The courses can be assembled without mortar between the courses. As an example, sides of the veneer blocks have areas that recede from an imaginary plane between adjacent veneer blocks to give a deep texturing and a shadow effect between veneer blocks. The installation system and method include a substrate, an air barrier applied to the substrate, a plurality of veneer blocks, and an adhesive applied between the plurality of veneer blocks and the air barrier.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2021Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Anchor Wall Systems LimitedInventors: Leonard Browning, David Rice

Patent number: 10301820Abstract: A insulated masonry wall system having insulation blocks between structural and face blocks to provide structures that are strong, inexpensive, avoid thermal bridges, and resist transmission of heat. The walls are attractive and versatile, and an enormous variety of decorative face members may be utilized. The face blocks are attached to the structural blocks to prevent facing materials from falling even if fire destroys the insulation blocks between the structural blocks and the facing. The system resists water penetration and effectively drains water that does penetrate any portion of the system.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2018Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Oldcastle Architectural, Inc.Inventors: Leonard Browning, Robert J. Lundell, Stephane Beliveau
