● Always use the correct joining strips Recommendations for use
● Keep the cavity clean during construction Part 2

4. Stagger the panels

Stagger the vertical joints as this
will strengthen the units as they
are joined together.

Install with the flat face of the joining strip outwards
to give the maximum width for the mortar bed.

5. Cutting and trimming panels

Cut the panels with tin snips or a saw, or score the panel
and then bend it back on itself and the unit will snap off.

6. Important note about joining strips

The 900mm joining strips are to be used for
the horizontal joints. Cut a long joining strip
up to a wall tie and use the off-cut to start
the next section. The 400mm joining strips Place board
are designed to exactly fit the vertical joints
over cavity

7. Keeping the cavity space clean

When building up the internal wall, ALWAYS
ensure that a cavity board or length of timber is
used to cover the cavity.

It is essential that the cavity is kept free from
mortar during construction.
