Where design considerations preclude discrete panels, incorporate movement control joints to form the brickwork into panels in which the length is not greater than twice Movement Joint the height. As a general rule vertical movement joints to accommodate horizontal movement should be provided at typically Panel Length 6m intervals as per PD 6697:2010 and hEN Unreinforced Panels 1996:2006. Our technical Sales Department will be pleased to offer advice.

Generally do not exceed designation III Movement Joint mortar If special constructions require stronger mortar, reduce the distance between Fig 1 | Unreinforced Panels movement control joints. Lime Sand Mortar will help repair small incidence of movement by "self healing".

All brickwork is subject to movement mainly as a result of temperature and atmospheric changes. The following basic recommendations will help accommodate expansion and contraction.
