Masonry Shelf Angle Thermal Bridging Solution

Masonry veneer walls require tie-backs and shelf angles which form significant thermal bridges and can reduce a walls’ R value by as much as 50 percent making it hard to meet energy codes. Shelf angles transfer the masonry load back to the buildings’ structural steel or concrete slab edge interrupting the continuous insulation of the wall assembly making a linear thermal bridge.
