I like this bracket idea.  You might elaborate on why these are becoming more necessary today.

I've struggling with a newel post edge detail, where I've got an AWS concrete deck pavers system which I'd like to drain over the edge, while creating a nice looking trim detail.  I spend way too much time trying to figure out how it would be done.

The original designer drew up a nice clean system, but how the F**K you'd build it was not considered.

There is a much easier method to install a ledger on top of the existing brick veneer surface using Simpson BVLZ brick ledger connector. I can see MTV bracket being used in new construction prior to brick installation so it can be properly flashed, etc. and extra blocking can be installed along the rim joist... In existing construction it would be a pain in the a$$ to use this bracket especially if there is existing finished basement.

@John JT, You need a fascia mount bracket, they make both for flush mount and and flush mount with offset... The one with offset mounts to fascia when decking or flashing extend beyond the fascia board, post mounts 1-1/4" from fascia.

Good luck and happy New Year.

I use these brackets where my projects require that I extend a ledger board out beyond continuous insulation. They can come with or stuffed with insulation in the void minimizing the thermal bridging affect. They provide a good distance of stand off for my typical installations of (20 1.5" layers of mineral wool.
