1
Inspection of the surface in order to
- determine the length of wall plugs required,
- compensate for major unevenness (≤2 cm/m²),
which can not be compensated for by the system, in the form of suitable lathes, rigid foam panels or plaster in clots.

2
Window sills which are too short but have sufficiently stable support are shortened flush with the wall, new window sills are directly fitted after the brick panels installation and properly glued and mortared with an incline of at least 6°. A new projection of 4-6 cm with lower drip nose or drip stone is required.
NB: The drainage openings in the window frame must not be sealed off by the new window sill.

3
In the event of insufficient roof projections, suitable profiles or angles should form an upper edge.
Elements secured to the building facade such as downpipes, lamps, sunshades etc., which no longer provide sufficient intermediate spacing after fitting bricks, should be removed and anchored in the join area after fitting.
Cables and water pipes can also be fitted behind the panels by cutting away some of the hard foam.
In the case of heavy elements such as sunshades, canopy rooves etc., suitable spacer elements, e.g. made of hardwood or metal, should be integrated to ensure load distribution.

4
Securing the panels:
- The aluminium angle profile is screwed horizontally all around the wall. (The start rail does not have a load bearing function but rather a border function.)
- It is important during element and corner fitting that worn drills are not used and that the drill hole is cleaned before the wall-plug is inserted.
Drilling depth: at least 1 cm more than the set wall-plug depth inside the wall.
- In addition to securing via wall-plugs, the brick panel elements incl. corner elements should also be glued to the building wall: apply thin blobs of polyurethane foam to the panel or wall, press the panel approx. 5 cm away from the front panel against the wall and then slide it 5 cm towards the front panel before securing with wall-plugs. This alters the polyurethane foam cell preventing it from expanding and providing the adhesive effect by the gun foam across 40% of the surface. (It should be max. 1.5 mm thick.) This process should be observed to ensure secure adhesion of the material to the masonry.
- In the case of surface unevenness, hardwood wedges should be used for compensation.
If panels are mounted without glueing on the back, material thicknesses of 35 mm, 40 mm and 60 mm require expansion joints every 8 metres and material thick-nesses of 80 mm and thicker insulation bond elements require expansion joints 11 metres apart.

5
Securing corner elements: these corner elements are secured using 3x3 counter-bonded screwed inserts. The requisite wall-plugs and screws are supplied. When aligning on the start rail, it is important that the lower half of the joint is cut away with the result that the brick is positioned directly on the start rail.

6
The brick panel elements are secured:
- using 9 wall-plugs/screws to a height of 20 metres (Plus from 8 - 20 metres using 12 wall-plugs/screws),
- using 12 wall-plugs/screws to a height of 20-22 metres (with the brick panels securing sleeve),
- using 16 wall-plugs/screws to a height of 20-22 metres (the brick panels Plus) of sufficient length, vertically on left and right, and diagonally through the centre. If individual screws fail to find the required support in the surface, they should be replaced by new ones.

7
Corner elements are secured in the sill areas (windows, doors, lintels) using the same principle as for building corner elements. However, in order to prevent the corner element soffit side ending on the window or door frame, the polyurethane insulation on the back should be trimmed accordingly using a straight-back hand saw with an open handle or our finished corner should be used with a pur-less side element.

8
Tailor-made elements (fitting pieces, roof slopes etc.): These sections need to be cut using an abrasive cutter equipped with a diamond saw blade for stone. In order to achieve a proper bond, the transition brick must be detached from the hard foam in the case of fitting pieces.

9
The panel and corner joints must be fully foamed all-round using the brick panels gun foam in the specified grooves.
Alternatively, foam can be inserted through the openings visible on the front once all of the elements have been secured. This method also requires the avoidance of cavities.
In the case of concealed foaming, the gun pistol should be inserted into the centre of the foam cavity.
35 mm and 40 mm systems must be fully foamed all-round and without cavities. Apart from glueing to the wall from the back, it is important that sufficient foam is used on the cut inclines behind the panels and corners (as in 4) to ensure sufficient support between the individual elements. Once the foam has been applied, try not to move the top elements.

10
The grooved facing tiles are glued into the joints of the individual elements. To achieve improved adhesion, the foam contact area should be thoroughly removed of dust and roughened a little (e.g: by using a pointed hammer to chip out little dents) prior to glueing. A rust-free spatula is used to apply the prepared adhesive across the full surface of the facing tile back and the tile is then positioned using slightly circular movements. The consistency of the adhesive should not be too dry. To avoid the formation of silhouettes, as much adhesive mass should be applied as to prevent the facing tiles from protruding or receding. To prevent the facing tile from slipping during the gluing process, it should be secured using 2-3 zinc-coated nails or wooden wedges.

11
Seal the edge joints to windows, doors etc. using polyurethane foam sealing tape.

12
Brickwork must be thoroughly cleaned of dust, powder in the case of white material and other dirt before hand-pointing.

Final dressing of joints must be realised using the brick panels ready-mixed jointing mass as per DIN 18515-1, section.6.5.2. Prior to application of the jointing mass and depending on the weather and type of stone used, the joint surface must be wet before and sprayed after jointing. The jointing mass should be mixed until slightly moist
and applied under even pressure. The jointing mortar should be kept consistently moist. Jointing should not be performed at temperatures above 28°C.
Requirements: approx. 5 kg/m2.
