Sills

The brick replacement and sills replacement under doors or windows is starting to be more and more common.

Mortar between bricks is not durable when horizontal. It tends to crack and allow water to pass behind the bricks, damaging the underlying masonry elements.

When we carry out this type of work, we remove the bricks, install a membrane behind the bricks and install concrete spandrels with drip cap. The drip edge ensures that water running along the spandrel during rainfall does not run down the masonry wall.
