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 hand pressed 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 deta

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, an integrated flashing system installed in the cornice, and stainless-steel through-wall flashing under the coping. The flashing system in the cornice includes a self-adhering flashing secured by a termination bar with continuous sealant, a stainless-steel drip edge, and weeps in the vertical joints. The through-wall flashing includes integral stainless-steel drip edges and weeps

    Perimeter expansion joints in tile assemblies essential and required in order to accommodate building movements and to prohibit cracks in the substrate from telegraphing to the tile finish. Perimeter expansion joints are required at all changes in plane and terminations of the tile. This detail illustrates a perimeter expansion joint where the tile floor terminates into an inside corner of the tile walls. The detail comprises two horizontal expansion joints where floor meets walls, and a vertical expansion joint at the inside corner of the two tile walls. Backer rod in each of the joints prevents three-sided adhesion of the sealant. Compressible filler is used at the backer board terminations in the walls to allow independent movement within the walls. Joint width of perimeter expansion joints are as specified by the design professional. Sealant type shall be specified by design professional and shall be compatible with other components in the system. This detail is based on Tile C

  Expansion joints in the field of a tile wall are essential and required in order to accommodate building movements and to prohibit cracks in the substrate from telegraphing to the tile finish. This detail illustrates a movement joint in tile continuing through the backer board behind it. Backer rod in the joint prevents three-sided adhesion of the sealant. Joint width, location, and frequency of field expansion joints are as specified by the design professional. Sealant type shall be specified by design professional and shall be compatible with other components in the system. This detail is based on Tile Council of North America (TCNA) method EJ171K.

Expansion joints in the field of tile floors are essential and required in order to accommodate building movements and to prohibit cracks in the substrate from telegraphing to the tile finish. This detail illustrates a generic movement joint in tile installed over a concrete floor with a cementitious bond coat. Bond breaker tape over the concrete prevents three-sided adhesion of the sealant. Joint width, location, and frequency of field expansion joints are as specified by the design professional. Sealant type shall be specified by design professional and shall be compatible with other components in the system. This detail is based on Tile Council of North America (TCNA) method EJ171F.

This wall section illustrates a modern rebuild strategy for replacing existing architectural terra cotta (TC) at the window sill, window head, cornice, balustrade, and parapet. The existing TC is replaced with new hand pressed 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, an integrated flashing system installed in the cornice, and stainless-steel through-wall flashing under the coping.

Existing structural steel that is accessible is  protected by cleaning an

06.080.0243R Interior wall retrofit | Tile over existing gypsum bd. on wood or steel studs, cementitious bond coat. This detail illustrates newly installed ceramic, gauged porcelain, stone, or glass tile on exsiting gypsum board backing on existing steel or wood studs. This is a retrofit application for use on interior walls in dry areas only. The tile is adhered to the existing gypsum backing with a cementitious bond coat of latex modified thinset mortar. Optional profile strips are shown at the outside corner and at vertical expansion joints in the field of the wall spaced at specified intervals.
