10.030.0633 Lintel rebuild | Terra cotta, extruded

This detail illustrates a modern rebuild strategy for replacing existing architectural terra cotta (TC) lintel, soffit, and accessory units around window openings. The existing TC is replaced with new extruded TC units, installed not filled, with weep holes at the underside of each overhanging unit; each secured with new stainless-steel anchorage. In restoring and rebuilding these types of historic wall systems, moisture mitigation is critical to their long-term preservation and performance. Moisture management measures in this detail include horizontal skyward-facing joint treatment of sealant or lead T-caps, and an integrated flashing system installed to protect existing structural steel. The flashing system includes a self-adhering flashing with ends dams secured by a termination bar with continuous sealant, a stainless-steel drip edge, and weeps in the vertical joints. Accessible existing structural steel is also protected by cleaning and coating with a corrosion-inhibiting coating. These TC rebuild details illustrate general best practices. Specific project conditions, configuration, and details will vary and shall be determined by the design professional.

10.030.0433 Sill and mullion rebuild | Terra cotta, extruded

This detail illustrates a modern rebuild strategy for replacing existing architectural terra cotta (TC) sill, mullion, and accessory units around window openings. The existing TC is replaced with new extruded TC units, installed not filled, with weep holes at the underside of each overhanging unit; each secured with new stainless-steel anchorage. In restoring and rebuilding these types of historic wall systems, moisture mitigation is critical to their long-term preservation and performance. Moisture management measures in this detail include horizontal skyward-facing joint treatment of sealant or lead T-caps, and an integrated flashing system beneath the sill. The flashing system includes a self-adhering flashing with ends dams secured by a termination bar with continuous sealant, a stainless-steel drip edge, and weeps in the vertical joints. The existing structural steel supports are also protected by cleaning and coating with a corrosion-inhibiting coating. These TC rebuild details

06.080.0241R Interior wall retrofit | Tile over existing gypsum bd. on wood or steel studs, mortar bed

    This detail illustrates newly installed ceramic, gauged porcelain, stone, or glass tile on exsiting gypsum board backing on existing steel or wood studs using a mortar bed method. This is a retrofit application for use on interior walls in dry areas only. The tile is adhered to the existing gypsum backing over a mortar bed with metal lath embedded. A cementitious bond coat of latex modified thinset mortar is applied over the cured mortar bed. A primer or bonding agent may be required by the mortar manufacturer. For an existing steel stud framed wall to be a candidate for tile retrofit, the studs must be 20 gauge or heavier, minimum of 3 5/8 inches thick, and spaced at 16 in. on center maximum. Optional profile strips are shown at the outside corner and at vertical expansion joints in the field of the wall spaced at specified intervals. This detail is based on Tile Council of North America (TCNA) method W241. Details that show different or modified concepts or methods can be of
