Installation
01. Fix Helping Hand Brackets
Fix Helping Hand Brackets to the substrate. Keep a maximum spacing of 600mm horizontally and 1200mm.
02. Install External Wall Insulation
Place stone wool insulation in a staggered arrangement, securing it with a central washer and perimeter fixings positioned between adjoining slabs.
03. Fix T/L Rails
Attach T/L rails to the Helping Hand Brackets. Employ one bracket as a fixed anchor point and brackets with slotted points for the remaining connections.
04. Fix Horizontal Support Rails
Secure Horizontal Support Rails to the T/L rails. Align them precisely with the brick slips, creating a 10mm gap. Utilize the gauge tool for streamlined attachment of multiple rail courses.
05. Insert Brick Slips
Position brick slips meticulously between rails, following the upper and lower grooves for guidance. Preserve a consistent 10mm gap by employing metal brick spacers.
06. Apply Mortar
Upon completing the placement of brick slips, inject the joints with Parex Historic mortar to achieve an authentic clay brick appearance.
