Meldorfer® flat facing bricks The genuine Meldorfer® flat facing bricks look like bricks – but are extremely flat with a thickness of only 4 - 6 mm and they are also very robust. As real lightweights, flat facing bricks are simply adhesively mounted on the existing substrate. They are perfectly suited for application on thermal insulation composite systems. Individual structures and formats can be produced on request.

A high lies over the North The appealing brick look sustainably characterises the regional image. A high in the North with a feel-good guarantee – the recently built private house in the Schleswig-Holstein village of Kaaks harmonises perfectly with a landscape which has always been characterised by the traditional brick look. The friendly, inviting detached house is well protected by the robustness of the Meldorfer® flat facing bricks, even during inhospitable weather conditions. Fitted as a robust final covering on a thermal insulation composite system, the combination of ETICS and flat facing bricks results in significantly less energy consumption and lower heating bills. The colour of the Frisian wall of solid stones is taken up in the individually matched colour of the masonry – an attractive detail for a traditional, northern group of buildings with style.

Thermal insulation, perfectly clad Optimum energy efficiency with attractive visual effect Commendable in terms of energy consumption and straightforward in character – the apartment house in Bad Oldesloe is in many aspects exemplary. A thermal insulation composite system sustainably reduces energy consumption and also ensures significantly less pollutant emissions – a plus both for the residents and the environment. The facade covered with Meldorfer® flat facing bricks is impressive due to its traditional colour design in a red look. White balcony cladding and a topmost storey also in white provide an effective contrast. Other accents are set by flat facing bricks in grey, which, as accent lines, lend relief to the facade while at the same time giving it structure and order. Property:

Meldorfer® flat facing bricks | Industrial buildings

Old industrial building, new brick look The WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) in the Swabian town of Geislingen an der Steige is a successful symbiosis of old and new. Amidst brick-built production buildings dating from the end of the 19th century, the so-called "Fish Hall" with its striking sawtooth-shaped roof now accommodates the WMF factory sales. To reinforce the link between the production facilities and the factory sales for the facade of the "Fish Hall" the usual plaster render finish was waived in favour of a matching brick appearance using Meldorfer® flat facing bricks. The classical brick look is impressive with living colour nuances – and there is an energy advantage. It was possible to bring the previous, inadequate insulation of the building to the latest state of the art using a thermal insulation composite system. The attractive, historical building structure is optimally protected and with a flair of its own invites the many visitors to a special buying spree. Property:

Architectural history maintained with character The 100-hectare residential area of Dulsberg-Nord in the Hamburg suburb of Barmbek is a fine example of residential construction in the social reformation of the 1920s. 549 apartments, about 25,000 m² living area and 26,000 m² facade area: impressive figures for refurbishment with protection of the social background – a clear case for Meldorfer® flat facing bricks. Combined with an efficient thermal insulation composite system, Meldorfer® flat facing bricks are convincing, not only through modern energy efficiency and attractive, decorative masonry, but also through well-developed, technical solutions for detail such as protruding stretcher courses, corner bonds or steeply sloping window sills. The retention of the traditional facade visual effect underlines the constructional and architectonic quality of the residential complex in the long term. Property:

Application instructions

Application takes place system-related on a cement-free reinforcing layer of Capatect-ZF-Spachtel 699 filler to eliminate the efflorescence also found on conventional fair-faced masonry. If the flat facings are to be applied to a cement-bound reinforcing layer, it must also be primed first with Putzgrund 610 primer to eliminate as far as possible the risk of efflorescence.

Division of area

Format II: 5 courses incl. joints = 320 mm height

Format III: 4 courses incl. joints = 330 mm height

Various colours in the Meldorfer range are combinations of colours in graded nuances. To achieve an interplay of colours on the surface the various shades must first be well mixed. Therefore do not apply layer-by-layer as they lie in the carton. This method avoids concentrations of individual shades.

The area on which Meldorfer® flat facing bricks are to be applied is divided up evenly with continuous height marks (lining out) appropriate to the selected format. Existing fixed lines, such as window or door lintels, should be used as the starting point for this height division.

Flush pointing Alternatively, additional flush pointing with Meldorfer pointing mortar can be carried out. This ready-to-use material is supplied in an earth-moist consistency. It should be thoroughly stirred in the container. The consistency can be adjusted by adding a slight amount of water. The pointing mortar is applied in the perpend and bed joints with the usual working technique using an appropriate pointing trowel and is then smoothed with slight pressure.

Meldorfer ® Sandstone Plinth areas, wall buttresses and cross walls can be decorated with Meldorfer sandstone. The three different formats and different colours can be combined as required to produce ashlar masonry true to the original. The application technique is similar to that for flat facing bricks.

Important, please note: • The consumption of the three different sandstone formats depends on the individual allocation per m². • The sandstone colours of grey, yellow and red are supplied in separate packages. Each package contains three formats. • To obtain an interesting sandstone visual effect it is recommended that the three colours are combined for application. • The facing bricks can be trimmed to the desired length, e.g. according to the laying pattern.
