Fitzgerald’s Single-Use Gaskets are designed for both tilt-up and precast applications. Flexibility of the gasket adjusts to variations in brick sizes, virtually eliminating the need for grinding, and allows your choice of brick from any manufacturer.
Advantages of using single-use gaskets:
- Gasket panels overlap so there are no butt joints between the panels
- Designing with colored bricks is simple — just mark the pattern on the gasket
- Concrete does not bond to Fitzgerald liners, so the sheets strip easily
- No seams in the grout lines
- The liner creates a barrier between the concrete and the slab, thus reducing the cost of after-care cleanup
Fitzgerald’s single use BrickMaster gasket system will provide you with the most economical and efficient way to add a brick veneer to a tilt-up or precast structure. Labour savings are a fraction of the cost of other systems: no more sacking and patching, reduced stripping costs, reduced concrete leakage and virtually seamless grout lines.
Interlocking panels allow for faster assembly, especially with multi-colour layouts and designs. It provides a barrier between the concrete and the slab and can be easily trimmed to fit with a utility knife or a pair of scissors.
Unlike other products on the market, the BrickMaster single use gasket was designed so the brick will sit flat in the cavity to inhibit the problems caused from floating bricks. Likewise, the gasket panels are fabricated from the highest grade plastic which eliminates the brittleness associated with other systems.
