Block Laying
Block Laying for Blocks and Partition Blocks is almost the same, however for more stability of internal non bearing walls and partitions, ACICO thinbed mortar in thickness 1-2 mm is applied for both vertical and horizontal joints.
Laying
The first course should be laid in cement mortar bed of thickness about 1 to 3 cm. This course must be laid correctly for fast building progress in the following courses. In all next courses ACICO blocks are best laid with ACICO thin-bed mortor (glue).

Mixing
For mixing the thin-bed mortar with water, it is best to use ACICO stirrer driven by a slow-speed drilling machine. After thorough mixing, the mortar is ready for use.
