Stone Snap™ Debuts at 2006 World of Concrete

Scott System participated in the “At Home With Concrete” mega demo at the 2006 World of Concrete in Las Vegas.  One of the many textures shown on the concrete “model home” panels was integrally-cast stone in 8” x 16” pieces.

Audience members were dazzled by the gorgeous hand-crafted stone placed with the Stone Snap® system and used as a wainscot on the model.  Rhodes Architectural Stone of Seattle, WA supplied 8” x 16” x 1.5” hand-tooled artisan stone in shades of heather, curry and caramel.  Company president, Richard Rhodes who has more than 20 years’ experience in the industry stated, “I have been involved with every aspect of stone quarrying, fabrication and installation, but this is the first application where we have integrally-cast stone into concrete wall panels.  We are excited to be a part of this event and very happy to show concrete contractors how to easily achieve a beautiful stone finish with the Snap system.

Scott System Launches RIM SNAP™ for Poured-in-Place Concrete

Rim Snaps™ are the newest offering from Scott System Inc. for integrally casting thin brick into concrete walls.  An evolved and improved version of Scott’s Brick Snap®, Rim Snap™ is specifically designed for VERTICAL, poured-in-place concrete walls.  This is a first for embedded brick inlay systems as the existing methods are for precast or tilt-up concrete applications only. 

Rim Snaps™ are perfect for small or large-scale barrier walls and for residential construction of basements or foundation walls.  For walls, the product can be added to both sides of a vertical form and a two-sided brick finish can be achieved in a single concrete pour.  The advantages of using this system over traditional field-laid brick are numerous including reduced construction time and simplified engineering details along with the elimination of weep cavities necessary for conventional brick.  The Rim Snap™ is an individual template that snaps together in various coursing patterns.  Once connected, the assembly is attached to a form and then thin brick is inserted into each holder.  The brick is held snug with a flexible gasket “rim”.  The forms are placed, and concrete is poured encapsulating the brick in the process.  When the forms are removed, the brick is firmly and permanently in place.  To learn more, click on the INFORMER, Fall 2004 Issue.
