ELABRICK Smart Bricksystem Instructions

ELABRICK Smart Bricksystem

General

The unique, hand-made brick slip has been manufactured by Elastolith Nederland BV since 1982, although the recipe has existed longer, since 1962. The complete production process, from grain of sand to end product, is carried out at our premises in Haaksbergen. The Elabrick brick slip has many unique features, so the range of possible uses is almost endless. It is easy to create a masonry look using the Elabrick brick slip. The brick slip is designed as a vertical wall finish and may only be used with the accompanying Elabrick special adhesive.

Features

• Flexible, can be applied to a rounded corner or curve (Illus. 4).
• Low weight, approx. 5 kg/m². Thickness approx. 4 mm. No need to point afterwards, colour of adhesive = colour of seam.
• Use of adhesive, approx. 2.5 – 3 kg/m² depending on surface and application method.
• Contents of pack sufficient for approx. 1 m² including seam (± 12mm).
• No loss due to breakage and easy to cut to size using scissors (Illus. 3).
• Impact-resistant and can be painted using masonry paint (vapour-permeable).
• Water-repellent, vapour-permeable and colourfast. Brick slips harden following application.
• Ideal for use with insulation systems on outdoor facades of buildings and in renovation projects (only external quality).
• Temperature resistance -40° to + 100°C (Interior quality 0° – + 100°C).
• Non-flammable in accordance with EN 13501-1:2018 / A2 – s1, d0.
• 5 year product warranty.

Composition of brick slip and special adhesive:

• The products are manufactured in a sustainable manner, using mainly mineral raw materials. High-grade, water-based,
• APEO-free polyacrylate binding agent, mixed with specially graded quartz sands and then coloured using natural pigments.

Surface:

The surface must be able to bear the weight, be permanently dry, clean and solid. Unsuitable are: vapor-permeable, porous, woody and bituminous surfaces. We recommend always treating the surface with the appropriate Elabrick primer. Highly absorbent and cement-bound surfaces should always be treated in advance with Elabrick primer.

Application:

• Treat the surface described above with Elabrick primer and allow to dry for 24 hours.
  Apply the ready-made special adhesive vertically using a serrated scraper (Illus. 1). Apply as much adhesive as you can use in approx. 10 mins. (open time). (Wind, sun and high temperatures can shorten this time considerably)
  Press the brick slips firmly into the adhesive in the required arrangement (Illus. 2), in such a way that the back of the brick slip is in full contact with the special adhesive. Work from the top down, to avoid soiling the brick slips already applied. The standard seam width should be between 10-14 mm.

• Using a string line or (laser) spirit level, it is easy to check if the layers applied are horizontal.

• Immediately after applying the brick slips, the seams should be smoothed down using a moist paintbrush (Illus. 5). In doing so, the adhesive around the brick slips must form a seal against the side of the brick slip so there is no possible chance of moisture getting behind the brick slip. There may be no visible openings/cracks.

• Remove any stray spots of adhesive immediately (when the adhesive is still moist) with clean water; do not allow to dry!

• After applying the brick slips, protect them for at least 3 days from any form of precipitation. High humidity and/or a low temperature can extend the drying time considerably.

Storage, transport and shelf life:

• The brick slips and special adhesive must be transported and stored dry and frost-free.
• Shelf life of brick slips: Unlimited if stored dry and frost-free.
• Shelf life of special adhesive: See sticker/printing on bucket.

Important:

• Use brick slips from different boxes simultaneously to acquire the desired structure and shading.
• Through the use of natural raw materials, it is possible that differences in colour and tone will occur. This should be checked before use as no complaints can be made with respect to processed products.
• Do not use brick slips at temperatures below + 5°C.
• We guarantee the quality of our products. If you do not trust a certain surface, you yourself must carry out tests to see if the surface is suitable. We cannot accept any responsibility whatsoever for problems arising from the use of an unsuitable surface or incorrect use.
