The sheets are designed for use with 65mm high and 15mm to 25mm thick brick slips. The adhesive used is an S1 wall tile adhesive (Rapidset-Flexible) with the relevant admixture if being used externally (see the manufacturers application guide).
The cement tracking board is a very rigid outer sheathing board making the application of slips a 'one fix'. Forming it around reveals is accomplished with the use of power tools i.e. angle grinder with diamond tipped cutting blade (please use relevant Personal Protection Equipment).
This board can be used on many building envelopes such as steel / timber frames and the fixings are the same as would be used when applying un-profiled sheathing boards. Please call our office and speak to our technical team if you wish to discuss your envelope build up.
The sheet ensures that the horizontal joints are kept in alignment and can speed up and deskill the installation process of brick slips particularly when using relatively precise brick slips. The more regular the brick slip finish the greater the skill required to get a pleasing finish if applying the slips using spacers alone.
