The area that is to be covered with BrickStick should be marked out evenly with chalk lines. Door lintels and windows should be used as starting points. A starting track can be used to provide a level line to work from. Installation should start from a pistol slip corner.
A small amount of adhesive should then be troweled applied to the wall. Only as much adhesive as can be immediately covered with slips should be applied, a notched trowel should be combed through the adhesive before the brick slip is applied. Slips can be easily cut on site using a diamond tipped angle grinder.
Starting above the first course of brick work a 10mm 3 braid nylon rope is inserted into the horizontal joints, this will create a natural looking 10mm mortar joint. The rope will accommodate for any natural bend in the brick work creating the look of a traditional brick built wall. A small piece of rope can be cut to provide a guide for the vertical joints.
After initial setting the rope can then be gently removed. The joints can then be filled with a sand/cement mortar and smoothed using a pointing trowel. For speed of application a mortar pointing gun should be used. Any excess mortar can be brushed off once it has dried.
