When to Use a Pattern for Free-standing Walls

You can install the BelAir Wall™ free-standing wall system in a random pattern using any combination of units. Just avoid vertical lines that span more than 18 inches in height. If you are building a straight wall, use a pattern for inspiration or follow a pattern exactly. Pleasing random patterns can be built using an equal square footage of 3- and 6-inch-high units. The estimating formulas in this brochure are based on using an equal square footage of units of each size in each height. When using a pattern, begin at one edge laying the units as indicated. Install at least one repeat of the pattern to establish the pattern before proceeding to the next course.
