· Construction Process

BLOCK MATERIAL PREPARATION

Before masonry work, the block surface should be cleaned of dust, grease, and other substances that could impair bonding. Blocks should be moistened in advance, and masonry should commence only when the surface is free of visible water. The product age of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks, lightweight aggregate blocks, and ordinary concrete hollow blocks should exceed 28 days.

MORTAR PREPARATION

Refer to the product certificate for the water addition amount. Add water first, followed by the powder, adjusting the water content as necessary based on construction conditions and personal preference. Mix using an electric mixer until the mixture is uniform and free of lumps. Allow the mixture to stand for 3-5 minutes, then stir again for 15-30 seconds before use.

MASONRY CONSTRUCTION

The spreading method is recommended for construction. The mortar joints should be horizontal and vertical, with even thickness and tight, full seams. Vertical joints should be filled using the addition method or extrusion method to ensure fullness, and dry laying followed by grouting is not allowed. If bricks or blocks in the masonry are disturbed or need to be repositioned, the original mortar should be removed before applying fresh mortar for re-laying. The thickness of the mortar joints should be no less than 10mm.

CLEANING AND CURING

After the mortar has set and hardened, timely moist curing should be performed. The curing period should be no less than 7 days.
