SEPARATING WALL USING PLASMOR
E-WM-12
Block density 1050 kg/m 3
Wall ties Approved Document E ‘Tie Type A’
Clear cavity width 75mm (min)
Block thickness 100mm each leaf
Wall finish
Gypsum based board (nominal 8kg/m 2 ) mounted on dabs on
cement:sand render (nominal 8mm) with scratch finish.
Typical render mix 1:1:6 to 1:1/2:4. Render mix must not be
stronger than background
External (flanking) wall Masonry (both leaves) with 50mm (min) cavity - clear, fully
filled or partially filled with insulation
NOTE: Where there is a separating floor eg. flats/apartments, the party floor is subject to pre-completion acoustic testing.
GOOD SITE PRACTICE
Keep cavity and wall ties free from mortar dropping and debris
Fully fill all blockwork joints with mortar
Make sure there is no connection between the two leaves except for wall ties and foundations
Ensure that only Plasmor “Aglite Ultima” blocks are used in the construction of separating and flanking walls
Keep any chases for services to a minimum and fill well with mortar
• Ensure that render is applied to the complete face of each leaf with a scratch finish
(it may be omitted within the floor joist/beam zone)
