AAC Vertical Wall Panels
Tools required for installation


Step 3
Lay out wall lines on building slab by control lines as well as field verify all dimensions and openings.

Step 4
1. Cast reinforcing steel dowels into slab (prior to slab being poured) or
2. Drill and grout or epoxy into existing slab.

Step 5
Attach wood straight-edge (2x4) to the slab so that it is flush to the inside wall line of the panel. This will act as a guide to install the panels.

Step 6
At the highest corner of the slab place a full width 1/2" deep sand-cement mortar joint using a masonry trowel (Mortar to be Ready-Mix or 3:1 Sand: Portland Cement ratio). Use plastic shims as needed, along with sand-cement mortar to correctly level the slab or footing to the correct height, letting this cure before panel installation.

Do not use thin-bed or large-grain mortar to level slab of footing.

If moisture and wicking is a problem, add water-resistance mixture to sand-cement mortar.
