The graphic shows installation of The ABC System typical to most Asian markets.

Plywood is sometimes applied to the timber frame as a brace. This will generally be done only where local regulations make it necessary and the bracing qualities of the ABC System Rail have not been fully recognised.

Sisalation (also known variously as builder's paper, sarking and, in Japan, housewrap) is placed over the ply to provide insulation and waterproofing.

The System Rail is nailed to the timber frame over, and through, the ply and sisalation.

Brick facings and corners are installed into the rail and then mortared.

The end result - brickwork, except that it is stronger, more durable and much lighter than traditional brickwork and it did not need a bricklayer to install it!
