With all the prep work completed, you are ready to install Novabrik.
• Install the Novabrik on the Starter Strip*. At every furring strip, hold down the
face of the brick and drill holes at a downward angle (around 30°).
• Hold the brick flat on the wall and anchor it with a # 8 or # 10 x 2 ½” (64mm)
screw at a slight downward angle until the head touches the brick. Do not
over tighten.
• Be sure to mix Novabrik from different pallets as you stack and install. This
will blend the Novabrik together.
• Check the leveling at every fourth course before fastening and make
adjustments if necessary. A long level or straight edge can help.
