Wetherby Modular System 2 EPS Brick Slip - Stainless Steel Brick Mesh

Thermal Performance.

The systems can improve the thermal performance of external walls and can contribute to satisfying the requirements of the National Building Regulations.

Strength and Stability.

The systems has adequate strength and is designed to adequately resist impact damage and wind loads encountered in the UK. When the system incorporates a stone slip finish, the system can only be applied at ground and first floor level (maximum 6 m in height).

System Tested to BS EN 13501-1.

Achieves a value of B-s1, d0 reaction to fire classification.

Risk of Condensation.

The system can contribute to a limiting risk of interstitial and surface condensation.

Durability.

When installed and maintained in accordance with the Certificate holders recommendations and this Certificate, the system will remain effective for at least 30 years.

15mm RagRail Cavity Spacer Rails.

• RagRails are to be fixed down one side of the rail and through the centre of the rail hitting the studs at 300 mm centres.
• The above would all be subject to Job Specific Detailing, including Pull Out Tests and Wind Load Calculations.

25mm RagRail Cavity Spacer Rails.

• RagRails are to be fixed down one side of the rail and through the centre of the rail hitting the studs at 300 mm centres.
• The above would all be subject to Job Specific Detailing, including Pull Out Tests and Wind Load Calculations.

25mm Timber Battens.

• Timber Battens are to be fixed at every 150 mm centres.
• The above would all be subject to Job Specific Detailing, including Pull Out Tests and Wind Load Calculations.

LS 5.5 (steel frame).

R-QCP (timber frame).

Framed substrate sheathed using Wetherby approved sheathing board.

The framed substrate must be sheathed using a Wetherby approved sheathing board ensuring that they achieve minimum pull out requirements to be suitable for the systems application.

Fix boards in accordance with site conditions and manufacturer instructions.

Stone Wool/ Horizontal Lamella Fire Barriers.

• Mechanically fix fire breaks horizontally at agreed locations using stainless steel fixings and washers (as per Wetherby Detail Drawings).
• Fire breaks must be fully supported by the cavity spacer rails/ timber battens to ensure stability.

Stone Wool/ Vertical Lamella Fire Barriers.

Mechanically and adhesively fix fire breaks vertically direct back to the sheathing board at agreed locations and at a rate of four stainless steel fixings per board minimum. 

Tenmat Intumescent Strip.

• Intumescent strips must be screw fixed in place at 250 mm maximum centres, using a non-combustible screw with a head of no more than 11.5 mm diameter.
• They should be mechanically fixed at agreed locations to form horizontal, and if specified, vertical fire breaks in the cavity.
• or fixing lamella/ stone wool fire barriers, an adequate stainless steel washer will be required, please contact WBS for further information regarding this.

TKE Range – Steel Frame.

Typically used to fix fire barrier and intumescent strips to their agreed locations (Rail/ Sheathing Board/ Steel Frame).

TKE screw range.

Combined with the relevant cap/ washer this fixing is typically used for the main fixings installed through the mesh Normally specified when fixing into the RagRail/ Cavity Spacer Rail.

R-UCF screw range.

Combined with the relevant cap/ washer this fixing is typically used for the main fixings installed through the mesh. Only specified specify when fixing into the timber batten.

Brick Slip Adhesive.

• Trowel apply full spread of Brick Slip Adhesive to the scrim adhesive.
• Use a 10 mm notched trowel to ensure minimum 5 mm thickness is achieved.

WBS 9-25mm Brick Slips.

• WBS Brick Slips should be cleaned before application ensuring all slips are free of residue.
• Whilst the brick slip adhesive is wet the brick slips can be firmly pushed into the adhesive.
• Brick slips should be installed line and level and staggered leaving a consistent joint.
• NB. Brick Slips are manufactured using raw natural ceramics and will inevitably vary in nature.
• Natural variations in colour, texture and dimensions may be present. It is advisable to mix slips from at least 5 boxes to minimize grouping of colours.
• Any product deemed faulty or out of tolerance should not be applied and should be reported to Wetherby immediately. 

WBS Pointing Mortar.

• Once brick slips have set, point up with WBS Pointing Mortar using a pointing gun.
• Shape mortar to desired joint type using a pointing trowel.
• Care should be taken not to apply WBS Pointing Mortar onto the brick slip face or pistols as this can be very difficult to remove.
• Once pointing mortar is dry, brush down the wall to remove all loose mortar etc.

Approved samples required.

• Submit samples of Wetherby Dash for approval.
• Keep approved samples on site for the duration of the contract for inspection and comparison purposes.
• The manufacturer offers a product sample service, providing a small sample of the finished build-up, colour and brick slip type before a final decision is made.
• Contact the manufacturer for further information.

Install system as per manufacturer’s instructions.

• Securely fix Wetherby bellcast bead above DPC level at base of the system.
• Mechanically fix bellcast bead at max. 300 mm centres, 50 mm from each end.
• WBS 3756 base rail connectors should be used to join the tracks.
• Drainage holes must be drilled into the back of the starter track to allow the cavity to drain.
• Install 11 mm holes at 150 mm centres to allow for drainage and partial ventilation.
• Any gaps behind the basetrack allowing free air movement behind the insulation should be sealed appropriately.
