Hello a couple of noddy questions please. I'm bricking up a 2'3" doorway in a structural wall using aerated block. I estimate the opening to be 730mm wide.
How should I tie in? Do I need wall starters / frame cramps? Every row or every other row? Previously I've used the wall starter systems where you bolt a profile to the wall and slide strips up and down but they might be overkill?
If using frame cramps do you drill plug and fix all the cramps at once, or do it as you go up the wall (I'm thinking about brick dust on the beds).
The wall will be wet plastered with hardwall to match existing. Would you knock off the plaster say 5cm onto the existing blockwork and use scrim in the hardwall on the mortar joints to prevent cracking?
Thanks
