Handling and Storage
9 Protect pallets of brick and boxes of Versa Liner™ from exposure to sunlight, rain, wind and snow until ready to install. The packaging is subject to degradation from excessive moisture 9 Avoid excessive handling by unloading pallets into a suitable storage area where they will not have to be moved repeatedly prior to installation. 9 Secure any glue containers in a location protected from freezing. Installation of Versa Liner™ and brick 9 Maintain Coursing with Control Lines…… Working from a set of approved brick layout drawings snap control lines on the casting bed prior to placing brick……… Horizontal lines should be snapped vertically every few feet to keep the brick on course…….. Modular brick will require 2.667” per course (1 brick and 1 joint) or 8” for every 3 brick and 3 joints. Closure and Jumbo brick will require 4” per course. The plastic liner should be checked to insure proper positioning. The liners overlap at the edges locking the units together. Proper positioning of the liner in each form will insure that coursing lines up panel to panel when setting the panels. The plastic liner has a slight amount of give either for compression or stretch. It is important to distribute the compression or elongation uniformly through the panel area, always check the coursing as the liners are laid. Areas of brick should be “captured” on all sides by edge strips, forms, window and door block-outs, or termination reveal type strips. Versa liner™ layout 9 Properly overlap and seat all vertical and horizontal interlocking edges or joints, which are made to overlap with a large and small joint profile. Note that the liners have + and – signs along the edges to indicate the joint size and overlap orientation. Cut the liners with a band saw a sharp utility knife, or a mat cutter (Logan model 650). 9 Cut Brick using a wet tile saw with a non segmented wet diamond blade. Cut brick face up for a cleaner cut edge. Install the full and cut brick units at this time leaving out the top course to allow the next Versa Liner sheet to overlap correctly. Cut all brick face up on the tile saw. Remove any debris from the face of the brick and from the liner pockets before placing the brick. 9 Having completed the first coursing and making any adjustments necessary in the liners and the brick for overall panel width, the second course of liner can be installed. 9 When each course of liner is placed (10 brick courses), the brick should then be placed in the liner so that the weight of the brick holds the liner on course
