Technical information
Control Joints
Where control joints are used as a required structural element, loading of the lintel should be reduced by one third.
Installation
Place Traditional T-Bar in position on brick piers, with minimum end bearing of 150mm. Prop before bricklaying. Props must be no further than 1.2 metres apart and must remain in place until mortar has fully cured. The same number of courses must be laid internally and externally to prevent twisting of the T-Bar.
