Pull out tests must firstly be carried out
to determine the appropriate fixings required for each particular substrate.
If required,
substrate must be brushed down to remove any friable material, algae or
lichen and fungicidal wash applied.
Stabilising
solution may also be applied to provide a firmer key.
Attach
base rails & surface profiles.
Place
first insulation board onto base rail and secure with approved mechanical
fixings.
Continue
with additional boards ensuring that a staggered bonding pattern is adhered
to.
Fix profiled
mesh to the insulation using temporary fixings until an accurate alignment
has been achieved. Once the alignment is considered satisfactory, install
permanent fixings to hold the mesh firmly in place.
Butter
the back of the pistols with WBS brick slip adhesive apply to all corners
and door/window reveals.
Measure
the distance between corners and/or outer edges to identify the number
of bricks required per course and the subsequent width of the vertical
pointing joint.
Where required, brick slips can be simply cut to size using a standard
tile cutter.
Butter
the back of each brick slip and arrange within the mesh according to the
bond you wish to use.
Leave
the slips to set for approx 48 hours.
Apply
pointing mortar using a pointing gun and smooth out joints using a pointing
trowel.
Once
completely dry – remove any excess mortar using a stiff brush.
