Using the insert as a guide, fasten the
clips around the perimeter of the window ledge with a nail. The backing acts as a water-tight sealant to the puncture!
Remove the insert.
Feed the strip into the mouth of each
clip (with the ArchClip System, it only takes ONE PERSON to form an arch!).
Construct the masonry arch.
Remove the strip with the back of a hammer.
The strip can be re-used.
*NOTE: The brick weight does not
rest on the window! After the ArchStrip is removed there is a perfect 3/32" gap for caulking.
For extra large arches, use two ArchStrips
end-to-end, positioning an ArchClip to receive both the second end of the first ArchStrip and the first end of the second
ArchStrip. Therefore, no welding is required.
