STORY
Additional things to consider when figuring Structural Glazed Facing Tile (SGFT):
* Quoins/Starter corners must be ordered as a shape. Are they bullnose or square?
* Internal corners.
* At windows and doors, consider the type of frame being used to determine jamb and lintel units required. E.g., if bullnose jamb and lintel, a miter shape will be needed for the transition at the corner (bonding pattern and series size will determine the miter shape needed). Wrap-around doorframes only need stretchers.
Several construction tips for proper use and handling of glazed masonry products are available. The following topics are offered for recommendations to assist in construction.
