CURVED LAFITT AND MELVILLE TANDEM WALL
To build a curved double-sided wall, while maximizing results and minimizing
sizes, only the following pairs of veneer units are recommended for use:
A-A, A-B, B-B and B-C for 90 mm units and E-E, E-F, F-F and F-G for 180 mm
units . Consequently, there will be more D veneer units for the remainder of the
wall . Some units may have to be cut to fit perfectly into the selected curve .
The design flexibility of double-sided units means that connectors can be
inserted in all unit mortises, providing for better adjustment in creating curves
with different radiuses .
Note: Lafitt and Melville Tandem 180 wall modules must be assembled using
pairs of double-sided connectors installed one on top of the other for greater
stability .
The minimum curves possible for the Lafitt Tandem wall:
- inner curves = 1 .5 m (5 .0 ft);
- outer curves = 1 .8 m (6 .0 ft) .
Since Melville Tandem veneers all have a textured side,
the minimum bend radius is increased to 2 .4 m (8 ft) .

CURVED ESPLANADE TANDEM WALL
To build a curved double-sided wall, maximize results and
minimize sizes, we recommend using only the following
veneer
unit pairs: E-E, E-F and F-G .
Note that the curves may vary depending on what units are
selected and how they are positioned . The minimum curve is
1500 mm (5 ft) .
The flexibility of double-sided connectors is invaluable to
the construction of curved walls, since it is sometimes necessary
to offset the elements to adjust to the desired curvature .
