A great day of hands-on training with LS3P at Oldcastle in Charlotte! 🧱

We enjoyed having their architects and spec writers out to learn more about masonry materials, installation, and best practices. It’s always great to connect the design side with the field and help build a stronger understanding of masonry from the ground up!

Build with Brick!

☀️ Brick Performs Better in the Summer Heat
Testing found that brick veneer reduced summer heat gain through a wall by 49.8%, compared with only 14.9% for fiber-cement siding. That’s more than three times the heat-gain reduction!
Thanks to its natural thermal mass, brick absorbs and stores heat, helping to slow the transfer of heat into your home as outdoor temperatures rise.
