Abstract: A facade support system for supporting a veneer on a structure includes a bracket configured to be attached to the structure. The bracket includes a back panel having opposite front and rear faces and a connecting member extending from the back panel in a generally forward direction. The connecting member defines a recess adjacent a front end of the connecting member. The bracket includes a support attachment member at least partially disposed within the recess. The facade support system includes a veneer support constructed to be attached to the bracket by the support attachment member. The veneer support is constructed to be disposed in a mortar bed joint of the veneer.

Abstract: A veneer tie for use in a wall to join an inner wall member and an outer wall member of the wall. The outer wall member is formed from successive courses of masonry units with a mortar-filled bed joint between each two adjacent courses. The veneer tie has an installation axis that extends generally perpendicular to the outer wall member when the veneer tie is being used to join the inner wall member to the outer wall member. The veneer tie includes an attachment portion to be attached to a wall anchor used to secure the veneer tie to the inner wall member. An insertion portion of the veneer tie is coupled to the attachment portion that is to be disposed in the bed joint. The insertion portion includes a first recess and a second recess. The first recess is disposed at a first location on the insertion portion and the second recess disposed at a second location on the insertion portion.

Abstract: A facade support system for attachment to a floor of a structure for supporting a veneer includes a bracket and a support. The bracket attaches to the floor. The bracket includes a back panel, a connecting member extending from the back panel in a first direction and a top flange extending from the back panel in a second direction that is generally opposite the first direction. The top flange attaches to an underside of the floor. The support attaches to the connecting member of the bracket and is to be disposed in a mortar bed joint of the veneer.

Abstract: An anchor for use in joining inner and outer wythes of the wall. The outer wythe is formed from successive courses of masonry units with a mortar-filled bed joint between each two adjacent courses. The anchor comprises an engagement portion configured for disposition in the bed joint and an attachment portion coupled to the engagement portion. The attachment portion is configured to be secured to the inner wythe. The attachment portion defines an elongate slot. A bushing defines an opening sized and shaped to receive a fastener to attach the attachment portion to the inner wythe. The bushing is movably attached to the attachment portion to permit movement of the bushing and attachment portion relative to one another. This permits the engagement portion to move relative to the outer wythe to position the engagement portion in the bed joint when the fastener secures the attachment portion to the inner wythe.

Abstract: A lintel system for supporting masonry blocks above an opening in a structure includes a lintel configured to span a width of the opening. The lintel includes a single spanning member having a top edge, a bottom edge, and a side face extending between the top and bottom edge. Supports are disposed at longitudinal ends of the single plate member. A stiffener is attached to the lintel for reinforcing the lintel. The stiffener extends in opposed relation to the side face along at least a portion of the side face.

Abstract: A lintel system for supporting masonry blocks above an opening in a structure includes a lintel configured to span a width of the opening. The lintel includes a plurality of elongate splice plates each having opposite longitudinal ends. The splice plates are attached together end to end such that a longitudinal end of each splice plate is attached to a longitudinal end of at least one other splice plate.
