Adhesive
Wienerberger Brick Slip Adhesive is specifically designed for the weight and material of brick slips based on state of the art cement polymer technology to give an excellent adhesion and allow for a grab when applying brick slips to most masonry substrates (concrete, gypsum plaster, lightweight block, clay). It is a ready to use adhesive which only requires the addition of clean water to give easy mixing and good workability properties. The adhesive can be used internally and externally in temperatures as low as 3°C up to 25°C. A 20kg bag will allow for coverage of 4 sq meters.
Primer
Wienerberger Bonding Primer is a full silicone resin based primer, specifically designed for use on masonry substrates. The Silicone resin ensures that the primer is highly vapour permeable and matches the high vapour transmission rates of a cement base coat or through-coloured render, it is also highly suitable as part of a mineral thin coat into the substrate, which creates ultra high adhesion. The primer can be applied by brush, roller or spray and in temperatures as low as 3°C up to 25°C. 5 litres of primer will cover 25 sq metres.
Mortar
Wienerberger Pointing Mortar is based on state of the art cement polymer technology, the polymer adds a high water repellent quality, repelling water from the surface of the mortar joints, while allowing vapour to pass through the joints. Blended and formulated with high quality cement aggregates and chemical modifiers, to give excellent workability and fill when applying to brick and stone joints. The mortar is a ready to use product and only requires the addition of clean water to give easy mixing and good workability properties. The adhesive can be used internally and externally in temperatures as low as 3°C up to 25°C and is also water repellent. A 20kg bag will allow for coverage of 4 sq meters.
Brick Slip Spacers
Each bag contains 200 10mm reusable 'T' spacers which will cover an area of 3.5m² if not re-used.
