APPLICATION/FIXING DETAILS

The Dacatie Frame Former is suitable for use with all window and door frames, including timber, PVCu and aluminium. For easy installation follow these steps. 

• Step 1 Build wall up to sill height and locate the Dacatie Frame Former in the cavity (check former is square and propped up vertically).
• Step 2 Build up courses of brickwork/ blockwork inserting brick ties alternately between the brick  and the block every 225mm (every three bricks or every  course of block work).
• Step 3 Brick up to lintel height and remove bracing (if applicable). 
• Step 4 Build in lintel and upper brickwork.
