Frequently asked questions
01How are brick slips fixed?
Use a compatible cement-based brick-slip adhesive to position slips within the formed channels.
02How is the panel installed?
Panels are screwed directly to a supporting metal framework. Final fixing and subframe design require current system information.
03How is SmartGRC cut?
The current product guidance specifies a diamond-headed spiral saw.
04How are joint gaps filled?
Mastic or paste is listed for joint gaps. Confirm compatibility with the brick-slip adhesive, weathering design and expected movement.
