DIY: Installing a Himalayan Salt Brick Wall

Installing a Himalayan Salt wall in your home, office, yoga studio, or any other space is a cost-effective option, comparable to other remodeling projects. With their unique blend of health advantages and soothing glow, it's no wonder many people are finding immense satisfaction in incorporating Himalayan Salt walls into their living and working spaces.

The installation process for the Himalayan salt brick wall must involve constructing a supporting frame. It can include galvanized, rust resistant steel studs and tracks to create a sturdy structure and a grid system to hold the rows and columns of bricks in place.

This frame provides a reliable and secure foundation for the bricks, ensuring a stable and durable wall. Furthermore, to enhance the structural integrity of the wall, the bricks can be secured together using a bonding adhesive.

Any Himalayan salt brick manufacturer makes every effort to ensure accurate calibration of each brick to meet required measurements. However, please note that our bricks are cut from natural salt rocks using a circular saw, so handmade bricks may not always perfectly meet dimension criteria.

Our "revolutionary" technique allows anyone to attach Himalayan salt bricks to the supporting frame without adhesives. We use dowel pins to securely fasten the bricks, enabling the setup of a Himalayan Salt wall without a single drop of glue.

Positioning of the wall

When determining the location of the wall, consider the following factors to ensure a reliable base and secure footing:
● Stability of the ground or floor
● Levelness and evenness of the surface
● Adequacy of the footing to support the wall's weight
● Potential for water damage or moisture issues
● Proximity to any structural elements or load-bearing walls

By carefully evaluating these factors, you can ensure a safe and durable installation.

Practical Tips for Salt Walls

If you've decided to install a salt wall, keep the following essential tips in mind:

● Authenticity matters:
Ensure you're using pure Himalayan salt bricks from a trusted vendor, as knock-offs are common. Avoid opting for the cheapest option.

● Specialized adhesive:
Don't use standard grout; instead, use a special adhesive designed specifically for salt walls. Consult your vendor for guidance.

● Expertise recommended:
If you lack prior bricklaying experience, consider hiring a contractor for custom-built walls. Treat the installation like any other significant construction project.

● Backlighting:
If you plan to add backlighting, enlist the help of a professional electrician to ensure safe installation.
