Assembly Instructions – Hiss Reet Wall
Step 1: Before the Assembly
For the fitting of a Hiss Reet wall you need the following tools:
· Circular saw (alternatively a jigsaw or a cut-off wheel)
· Pincer or side cutter
· Cordless drill with a bit set and a drill set
· Folding rule and a pencil
You should have the following materials:
· Tar board (width: 18 cm)
· Impact noise insulation (e.g. cork strips width 8 cm)
· Roof battens (6 x 8 cm)
· Screws (6 x 70 and 6 x 120)
· Suitable wall plugs matching the screws (e.g. Fischer FU 8*50 and Fischer SX 6*30)
Preliminary Preparations:
Draw the intended course of the Hiss Reet wall on the floor. Try to be as accurate as possible.
Step 2: Mounting the upper and lower lathing
Apply tar board along the planned course of the wall (illustration 1)
then, cover the tar board with a strip of impact sound insulation (illustration 2).
Now, place the roof battens following the marked course of the wall (illustration 3).
Place the lower lathing on top of the impact sound insulation. Attach the laths to the base. For this purpose you should drill through the laths into the floor (illustration 4) in a distance of about 70 cm. Then, fix the laths with screws and wall plugs. In the same way you should now fix a lath to the ceiling. In this case however you can do without the tar board and glue the strip of insulation material to the upper lathing to make things easier.
Step 3: Fixing the wall connections
Cut the wall connections to size (upper edge of the lower lathing – lower edge upper lathing). Fit the wall connections perpendicular to the floor (illustration 5).
Place a strip of impact sound insulation under the wall connection (illustration 6).
Drill through the wall connection into the wall in a distance of about 70 cm (illustration 7).
Fit the wall connection with screws and wall plugs (illustration 8). Drill additional diagonal holes from the wall connection into the upper and lower lathing. Then, screw the wall connection. Proceed in the same way with the wall connection at the other end of the wall.
Step 4: Place the wall segments
Place one of the Hiss Reet wall segments close to the wall connection so, that both rebates overlap (illustration 9).
Screw the wall element through the predrilled holes to the wall connection (illustration 10).
Drill additional diagonal holes from the wall element into the upper and lower laths (illustration 11). Then, screw the wall element.
Step 5: Place the adjacent wall segment
Now, place the following wall segment close to the last one.
Screw the wall element through the predrilled holes to the preceding segment (illustration 12).
Drill additional diagonal holes from the Hiss Reet wall element into the upper and lower laths. Then, screw the wall element (illustration 13). Place segment after segment until the space between the last wall unit and the wall connection is smaller than the width of a Hiss Reet wall segment.
Step 6: Place the last wall segment
Now, place the last wall segment. To do so, measure the distance between the last wall segment and the connecting wall and cut the wall element to size. You can do this by cutting in two the wires of the wall element in the centre (illustration 14) and then bending them upwards (illustration 15).
Now, remove superfluous reed from the newly created wall-element-halves (illustration 16). Watch not to take out the wire clamps where the wall-element-halves will connect. This would lead to problems when you try to join the halves of the wall element together.
Join the two halves of the wall element together and twist the two upbent wires with a pincer (illustration 17).
Now, fit the wall element to the preceding one. Screw the wall element through the predrilled holes to the preceding wall element and the connecting wall (illustration 18).
