New guide from Hanson promotes builder benefits of thin joint
masonry construction
Hanson Building Products, a leading supporter of the thin joint
masonry system, has just published a handy reference guide detailing
its Thermaliteblockrange and the benefits it offers builders when
used in conjunction with Thin Joint Mortar.
While the thin joint system has long been implemented in mainland
Europe, it is only within the last decade that it has gained
momentum within the UK construction industry. Through this new guide
and its concise, easy-to-use format, Hanson presents the
time-saving, labour-saving, cost-saving advantages of its thin joint
system, which uses Thermalite Thin Joint Mortar and Aircrete blocks.
The Site Guide to Thin Joint Masonry is a 24-page, full colour A5
publication which explains the system in four main sections:
pre-construction planning; tools and materials; setting out; and
detailing. Products, systems and applications are fully illustrated
by a series of on site photographs and detailed cutaway diagrams.
Stressing the importance of careful planning, especially in terms of
site management, scheduling of labour and sourcing of materials, the
guide focuses on the key feature of Thermalite Thin Joint Masonry,
which is the ability to build the inner leaf first: this takes the
brickwork off the critical path.
The guide also lists the tools and materials required, including
standard and large format blocks, thin layer mortar, and hand held
applicator scoops which are conveniently colour-coded for easy
selection according to the width of block being used. The necessary
mixing tools and cutting tools are also specified, along with a
handy checklist of materials to ensure maximum efficiency on site.
The setting out section advises on base course construction, as well
as mortar handling, mixing, application, block laying and stability,
complete with advice on working in various extreme weather
conditions.
Detailing information includes important advice and helpful tips
regarding movement control, as well as the installation of windows
and openings, lintel support and bedding, and intermediate floor
support.
Thin joint masonry construction offers todays builders the
opportunity to save time, labour and money, to complete one project
and move on to the next one faster and more efficiently. As Hansons
new guide points out, thin joint masonry construction means more
haste, less waste in an industry that is increasingly demanding in
terms of quality construction, energy savings, and on-time/on-budget
completion.
