Application of clinker brick slips
Divide up facade depending on the individual ceramic formats [mm]
240 x 52 x d 240 x 71 x d

Preparation for work
The surface to be coated is to be divided up evenly with continuous height markings

according to the format selected.
Here existing fixed lines such as window or door lintels should be taken as points of
reference.
The height markings are to be created surrounding the building.

Start by dividing the roll layer in the

facade openings

Spread on the adhesive layer with a

toothed trowel
Do not apply to too large an area at

once; skin formation in the
adhesive is to be avoided

Apply the roll layer in the floating-

Apply the roll layer in the floating-

buttering method to DIN EN 12004

Take care to ensure even joint

spacing

Cut fit pieces
Cut into clinker from the front side

through to the middle

Start by applying the wall surfaces

beginning from the building corners
Apply from top to bottom.
Only pre-apply as much mortar as

can be bonded immediately.
Skin formation must not have the
opportunity to begin.

The clinker / tiles / natural stones

are to be pressed in firmly using
horizontal sliding motions. No
hollows may be permitted!
Within the division, bond the

uppermost and lowest rows, then
the clinkers lying between these.
Visual measures are generally

adequate for jointing here.

The wall surfaces are also applied

using the floating-buttering method.

Care must be taken to ensure

whole-surface bonding.
Adhesive surface share > 90%

Brush joints smooth with a hose or

a joint trowel in order to close the
adhesive around the clinker and so
prevent water penetration until the
final pointing.

Principles of joint planning
Joint planning
Joints must be planned. The planning must be carried out by the responsible
architect / planner. The joint planning is not done by the applicator!
Expansion joints from the substrate must be continued in the insulation system.
Joints in EWIS with ceramic and natural stone materials must be continued through
the entire EWIS, down to the substrate. (According to Opinion 10.2.550 it is
sufficient if the insulation boards are cut through at least half way.)
Maximum field sizes:

Natural stone materials 6m x 6m – if no planner is engaged
Glass mosaic 6m x 6m – if no planner is engaged
Ceramic 12m x 10m bzw. 120 m² - according to Opinion 10.2.550

Principles of joint planning
Lateral ratios of the fields approx. 2 : 1

Joint widths with elastic jointing ≥ 25mm
At all outer corners of the building, a vertical joint must be created. The spacing from
joint to corner should correspond to the flange length of the corner tile.
At all internal corners of the building, a vertical joint must be created.
All joints must be created vertically. Joints along the length of the bond are not
permitted.
Tiles may not be bent out at corner openings – risk of cracking!
Should other joint arrangements be used, an expert should be engaged. The costs
are usually borne by the builder / owner.

Joint planning by an expert
Joint planning is not carried out by

our Sto AG Technical Service in
Weizen.
The plans are contracted out
externally.
Duration: approx. 4 to 6 weeks

Costs: approx. 500 to 2000 EUR
(depending on expenditure)
The costs are borne by the builder /

owner.

Joint arrangement: CRP suggestion
Expansion joint on one side of the

corner (only required when the
EWIS has a length of over one
metre on both sides)
Expansion joint
Around all connection joints (e.g. at windows) with adequate DF possibility

Detail creation

Incorrect execution of a horizontal joint
... with sealant compression and

Horizontal “crush joint” ...
offset as consequence

Incorrect execution of a building expansion joint
The entire width of a building

expansion joint is to be taken up!

Failure to observe the required evenness of the substrate
The substrates must be very even, particularly when using larger stone formats.
The evenness tolerance must not exceed 0.5 % of the board length.
(Consider in advance, in tender specification).

Incorrect execution in window corners
No cut-outs at window corners (toe-cracks)
Consequent joint creation at window corners

- Cross joints.
