Adhered Veneer

Tscarborough

Reading some industry rag or the other, I came across this term: "Adhered Veneer". I think it is an excellent term for man made or natural thin sliced products. It tells directly what it is, eliminating some confusion about the word "veneer". 4" dimensioned stone is a veneer, as are Cultured Stone, brick, and various wood products. What defines the concept of the product, however, is that it is adhered to the sheathing, and not resting on a brick ledge or mechanically attached.

I think I will use the term exclusively to describe faux brick and stone, as well as thin sliced natural products.

Does anyone see any downside or hidden meaning to this term?

i think it sounds a damn sight better than lick and stick or phonny stoney.

Agreed. It describes what it really is.

I think the ACI 530 Masonry Code defines adhered veneer as "Masonry veneer secured to and supported by the backing through adhesion".

It's "cousin", anchored veneer, is defined as "Masonry veneersecured to and supported laterally by the anchors through anchors and supported vertically by the foundation or other structural elements".

No mention of thickness, but product specs would define dimensions to be expected.
