INTRODUCTION
Superlite Block is excited about the introduction of the SureTouch System. This product has been developed by OLDCASTLE, Superlite's parent company. For over 50 years now, Superlite has led the field in offering new masonry and landscape products with innovative finishes and styles.
In recognition of the increasing demand for new and innovative products, OLDCASTLE located its Research and Development Center at its subsidiary Permacon, located in Montreal, Canada. It is there that new Oldcastle products are developed.
The entire SURETOUCH line of products is characterized by originality, high-quality manufacturing, ease of installation and durability. For us, the SURETOUCH cladding system is a concrete example of how creativity can contribute to the construction process.
The only company in its industry with a quality control laboratory, Superlite Block puts its products through a battery of tests and rigorous verification process on a daily basis.
By constantly improving its products, Superlite Block is resolutely maintaining its leadership standing by continuing to offer products sought after by an ever-growing clientele.

Description
NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL CANADA EVALUATION NUMBER (CCMC-13302-R)
The SURETOUCH system forms a unit with the wall and structure of the building on which it is installed. Aside from the anchors and screws, the system has three essential elements:
Polystyrene panels (fully recyclable)
- Channels in the front and back to drain any water that infiltrates the wall;
- Cells or recesses on the outside face that together form the installation pattern or design.
Stones and bricks (fully recyclable)
- Specially designed to be inserted into the cells of the polystyrene panels
- 10 sizes of stone
- 5 sizes of brick
SURETOUCH mortar (fully recyclable)
- It can be pumped.
- It is more resistant in compression (32%).
- It contains more hydrated lime, which leads fractures in the joint to reset.
The system can be summarized as follows:
- The polystyrene panels are attached to the structure using stainless steel anchors and screws. These anchors extend outward into the joints and are eventually embedded in the mortar.
- The stones or bricks are inserted into the cells of the panel.
- A mortar specially designed for the SURETOUCH system is injected into the joints between the stones using a manual injection tool.
- Once cured, the stones or bricks, mortar, anchors and screws form a single unit anchored to the building structure.

Note: The SURETOUCH system has a overall thickness of 95 mm (3 3/4").
