Brick Shapes - Glen-Gery Brick

Brick Shapes

One main reason for brick’s popularity with architects, designers and
builders is its ability to adapt to design criteria. It can be shaped
and used in a wide variety of traditional and contemporary detailing –
from arches to sills, copings, columns and treads. Glen-Gery manufactures
a complete selection of brick shapes to match its comprehensive line of
extruded, molded, and handmade brick.
This catalog illustrates the standardized shapes that are available from
Glen-Gery’s manufacturing facilities. Their availability may differ from plant to
plant depending on the size and type of brick produced. Unit identification,
size availability and dimensioning are noted on each shape type, making the
ordering process simple and straightforward. For these standard shapes, no
drawings are necessary; simply call your Glen-Gery representative with the
ordering information.
While these shapes can accomplish a wide variety of architectural
detailing, Glen-Gery realizes that the creative process may require shapes
that do not fall within standardized design. To meet this need, Glen-Gery
Brick is equipped to produce customized shapes that conform to the
designer’s specifications. Custom shapes can be produced in either
extruded, molded or handmade brick types, although some textures may
not be available. Because of the technical expertise necessary to produce
these custom shapes, it is important to consult with a Glen-Gery Brickwork
Design Center or technical advisor for the most practical and cost-effective
method of achieving the desired shape.
Glen-Gery’s network of Design Advisors are available to coordinate
the design and production of custom brick shapes. Please contact them
early in the design stage so that all practical options can be explored.

Technical and Specification Information
G
len-Gery standardized shapes can be easily ordered by following
the established format. An accurate specification should include
the number of pieces, proper shape identification, brick size,
brick type and color range, as described in this section. Your Glen-Gery
representative will be glad to answer any questions or provide more
detailed information on standardized shapes, custom shapes, or other
aspects of brickwork design and detailing.
Position of Brick in the Wall
Interesting brickwork design
effects can be achieved by placing
brick in other than the normal
stretcher position, as illustrated
below. Regardless of how the
brick is installed in the wall, size
dimensions (thickness, height
and length of the unit) are always
assigned from the stretched position.

well as an unlimited range of
custom colors. Custom colors often
require a minimum order. More than
thirty different textures are available
ranging from architectural smooth
and glazed to a rough bark finish.
Availability of color and texture
varies from plant to plant depending
on the type of brick produced.
Coring
Coring of standardized brick
shapes is a plant option. Any coring
requirements to these shapes
places them into a custom shape
category – requiring drawings.

On-the-flat Water Table
Systems
There are two types of
on-the-flat water table
systems based on the
brick position in the wall.
1) Water table in the header
position (H).
2) Water table in the stretcher
position (S).
Each system is available
with companion exterior
and interior corners.
Rowlock Water Table
Systems
1) Water table in the rowlock
brick position (R).
In this application, rowlock
water tables have been
rotated to the header
position (H).
Water tables can also be
turned upside down to
achieve a cornice detail.

Water Tables
owlock and on-the-flat
water tables, once used to
reduce water penetration, are now
used by architects and designers to
achieve decorative design details.
These details can range from the
use of a single style
for simplicity to a
combination of
styles to achieve
highly ornate brickwork.
In addition to
their traditional use,
these shapes can be used to add
dimension to flat walls, rotated to
form door and window jambs, or
inverted to form cornice brickwork.
Continuity of design can also be
transferred into the landscape
by using the water tables as caps
for walls or edging accents for
walkways.

Sill Systems
Sills are used to protect the
brick masonry below a window
or door opening from water
penetration. Their design
forces water away from these
critical areas. These shapes
are available with companion
left and right starters. When
ordering these starters,
please specify left or right.
Coping Systems
Copings form a cap on top of
a wall that protects the brick
masonry below from water
penetration. Their design forces
water to run off while exposing
a minimum number of mortar
joints. These shapes and their
companion exterior/ interior
corners and starters are
available in sizes that cap
walls constructed of 1-3 wythes
of brick.
Tread Systems
Treads are designed with
curves that add safety and
beauty to a stairway. They are
available in 3-5/8" and 7-5/8"
units (4" and 8-1/2" for HMOS)
along with their companion
corner units.

Sills, Copings,
and Treads
T
he basic function of copings
and sills is to reduce the
potential for water penetration. This
is easily and attractively accomplished
with a variety of Glen-Gery
brick shapes. Their profiles, whether

Corner Brick
The octagon and hingebrick are
designed to provide alternative
corner treatments that do not
require field cutting. The octagon
brick shapes form 135° interior or
exterior angles while maintaining
coursing and visual continuity.
The unique design of the
hingebrick offers even greater
design flexibility. It allows an
unlimited range of angles at
corners and can be adapted for
use in other brickwork details.
Lipped Brick
When used with a structurally
fixed shelf angle, lipped brick
provide inconspicuous, vertical
expansion joints for brick masonry
structures. They can also be used
with loose shelf angles to form
lintels above window and door
openings.

Radials
Radial Brick
Internal and external radial
brick shapes, along with their
companion starters, can be
used to create details ranging
from curtain-like walls to
towering columns. These shapes
are designed to form smooth,
sweeping curves in brickwork
without producing shadows or
requiring field cuts.
FPO-10436

Dimensions for Glen-Gery’s
standardized radial brick
are computed so that the arc
length appears equal to the
length of the accompanying
stretcher units. They are
also designed so that a
whole number of brick fall
within a 90° segment,
eliminating the need to cut
brick to achieve tangency
at 90°, 180° or 270°.
Other radii are available as
custom shapes and require
architectural drawings.

Flat Arch
Glen-Gery’s flat arches
achieve the look of the
classical jack arch without
the cost of custom-made
arch pieces. The voussoirs
are designed with a 70°
skew-back angle and 3/8"
nominal mortar joint. All the
flat arch pieces, except the
keystone, are the same size
and shape and have parallel
vertical sides. Please specify
the masonry opening and
the face brick unit size
when ordering.

Classical Jack Arch
The typical 1, 2, and 3-brick classical
jack arches, as manufactured by
Glen-Gery, are calculated with a 70°
skew-back angle and a 3/8" nominal
mortar joint. To order a jack arch,
the type of arch, masonry opening
and the face brick unit size must be
specified. The jack arch brick are
individually boxed and tagged
for location.

Arches
B RISE
rick arches invoke a sense
of tradition and strength and
have become a standard element
in many architectural styles. For
structural integrity and appeal,
arches should be constructed with
brick shapes to properly span the
opening. Glen-Gery offers a variety
of standard arches which can be
used as functional or decorative
elements in a building design.

Custom Shapes
M
any interesting brickwork
design details can be
achieved with the Glen-Gery
standardized shapes illustrated in
this catalog. There are projects,
however, that require a custom
designed brick shape to achieve
a specific detail or unusual effect.
Glen-Gery welcomes the
opportunity to produce unusual
shapes, but it must be remembered
that an intricate design demands
a considerable degree of skill and
expertise to make and may take
longer to produce than a
standardized shape. Custom
shapes also require detailed,
contractor-approved drawings
prior to production.
Consult your Glen-Gery representative
early in the project to discuss
the procedure and requirements of
specifying Glen-Gery custom
shapes. Our technical staff and
manufacturing personnel stand
ready to offer you assistance in
turning your ideas into reality in the
most practical and cost-effective
manner.
Brick Sculptures
The ultimate brick shaping process
takes place when an artist uses the
material to create beautiful brick
sculptures. Each sculpture can be
designed to meet the requirements
of the owner, the building or the
environment, and can be executed
in any size for interior and exterior
walls or panels. From abstract to
realistic, brick bas-relief adds a
unique and timeless element of
artistic expression to any building.
Glen-Gery has experience in
bringing artist and material together
to create specialized sculptures.
For more information, please contact
your Glen-Gery representative.
