The close proximity of the building to the surrounding buildings required a fire rating of 4 hours. Lucky for all involved, Underwriter’s Laboratories has certified this assembly with a 4 hour rating! The Atlas structural brick dimensions are: 8″ deep, 4″ high and 16″ long. The face brick in this instance is also 16″ long. The designers here chose instead of a 4″ height to use the more traditional 2-1/4″ dimension. “Copperstone” is the color.
