Prefabricated Brick Walls
November 1963…
A new mortar containing plastic lets builders bond bricks together into panels that can be lifted into place in any weather. Panels were braced in steel frames 4 by 5 to 4 by 14 feet, raised to the roof of an eight-story Denver building, and welded to become penthouse walls.
The extra-strength mortar was made from cement, sand, and Sarabond liquid polymer, a Dow Chemical development.
