■ Bricks.
■ Terracotta blocks e.g. Porotherm*.
■ Lightweight aircrete concrete blockwork e.g. Celcon.
■ Breeze blocks (clinker).
■ Stone/rubble stone.
■ Shuttered concrete.
■ Expanded clay insulation blocks.

■ Dry-stacked inter-locking modular wall units e.g. Durisol* recycled timber blocks.*Consult masonry manufacturer’s datasheets. Durisol with Monorex GM & GF is NHBC approved for single skin external wall construction.
■ For below dpc applications and old substrates inaccordance with BS8000 - 4 Code of Practice for Waterproofing, consult Parex.
UNSUITABLE SUBSTRATES
■ Weak mortar or plaster (Gypsum) coated constructions.
■ Painted substrates - use PARINTER first
■ Avoid applications onto horizontal flat substrates or those with a backward incline as this may affect water run off and may have a tendency to hold moisture.
FINISHES
■ Medium Scraped - (GM) Fine Scraped (GF)
■ Sponge or Float Smoothed*
