The collar joint is the mortar that bonds two sections of brick to each other. Normally, a brick fa\u00e7ade wall is 4 inches nominal thickness and if you wanted an 8 inch nominal thickness wall then you would form two 4 inch walls bonded to each other with a continuous collar joint. The profile seam is a continuous bonded collar joint that typically separates and deteriorates because of differential settlement between the chimney and the house framing and thermal break down of the collar joint. The best way to repair this issue is with C199 refractory mortar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fireplace Profile Seam https:\/\/youtu.be\/a4LaKkfS7aM?si=YkeLfZAv4awjc9nP The profile seam is a continuous bonded collar joint.
