06.110.0613: Tile Steam Room Assembly | Masonry or Concrete, Mud Walls, Mud Floor
This detail, based on TCNA method SR613, illustrates a tiled steam shower or steam room assembly with masonry or concrete structure, mortar bed walls, and a mortar bed floor. The ceiling slopes 2″ per foot to prevent dripping of condensate. The bonded waterproof membrane must be continuous and must adequately limit vapor transmission. If bonded […]
06.EJ171.C: Tile Expansion Joint | Floor, Unbonded Reinforced Mortar Bed
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 an expansion joint in tile installed over an unbonded reinforced mortar bed on a concrete floor. A cleavage membrane allows independent […]
06.110.0421C: Curbless Tile Shower Assembly | Metal studs, CBU Backing, Bonded Waterproof Membrane, 2-stage drain
This detail shows a tiled shower assembly based on TCNA method B421C. It illustrates metal stud backing with cement backer board. This shower has no curb for handicapped accessibility. The receptor comprises a mortar bed with 1/4″ per foot slope to drain and a topical bonded waterproof membrane which ties into a 2-stage drain with […]
06.EJ171.N: Tile Perimeter Expansion Joint | Floor To Wall
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 […]
01.030.0332: Base of Wall Detail – Anchored Brick Veneer, CMU Backing, CMU Foundation
This detail illustrates a base of wall condition with a partially grouted and reinforced concrete masonry foundation. Below grade waterproofing and an air/moisture/vapor barrier above grade provide continuous resistance to air and moisture; continuous insulation offers excellent thermal control. The flexible thru-wall flashing is supported across the cavity with rigid insulation and grout. An optional […]
01.030.0602: Window Head Detail – Anchored Brick Veneer, CMU Backing
This detail illustrates a masonry window head condition. The concrete masonry backing is treated with blocking at the perimeter of the opening, which is wrapped with transition material that engages with the air/moisture/vapor barrier in the field of the wall. This provides continuous resistance to air and moisture. Continuous insulation offers excellent thermal control. An […]
01.030.0705: Shelf Angle Detail – Anchored Brick Veneer, CMU Backing, Shelf Angle with Bracket-Type Standoffs
This detail illustrates a shelf angle projected from the concrete masonry backing with a system of standoff brackets anchored to the backing. The brackets allow the shelf angle to avoid contact with the backing, which would otherwise transfer heat across the cavity. The brackets project the shelf angle out the required distance to adequately support […]
01.030.0831: Roof-Wall Interface Detail – Anchored Brick Veneer, CMU Backing
This detail illustrates a low roof terminating into a higher wall. The tall interior single-wythe CMU wall transitions into an anchored veneer wall above the roof line. The open web steel joists of the roof structure bear on the tall CMU wall via a steel bearing plate on a CMU bond beam. The roof system […]
01.030.0901: Top of Wall Detail – Anchored Brick Veneer, CMU Backing
This detail illustrates a parapet condition including the roof termination into the masonry wall and the top of wall termination. The open web steel joists of the roof structure bear on the CMU wall via a steel bearing plate on a CMU bond beam. The roof system terminates with the roof counterflashing engaging with the […]
06.130.F141: Tile Floor With Unbonded Mortar Bed Over Wood Substrate
This detail shows ceramic tile on an unbonded mortar bed over a wood substrate. The mortar setting bed is separated from the wood with a cleavage membrane to allow the tile assembly to move independent of the structure. The tile may be fresh-set (i.e. the mortar bed is still workable) and adhered to the mortar […]
